(a) No. The Mooranopping Reserve (21153) is held by the Kellerberin Aboriginal Progress Association. It is an A Class reserve under the
Land Administration Act 1997
(WA) for the purpose of Conservation and Protection of Flora and Fauna, and is protected from development by that vesting. In addition, there are a number of Aboriginal heritage sites on the reserve that are afforded protection under the
Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972
(WA). The adjacent freehold land to the south also holds heritage sites. One 0.4ha parcel of land adjacent to Reserve 21153 is already held by the Aboriginal Lands Trust.
(b) Yes. I will refer this matter to the Hon John Castrilli MLA, Minister for Heritage, as the Minister responsible for the
Heritage of Western Australia Act 1990
(WA).
(c) Not applicable.
