East Pilbara—Industrial land
779. Hon Neil Thomson to
the Minister for Regional Development:
I note the important
role of the Pilbara, which was highlighted in celebrations at Parliament this
week.
(1) Is the minister aware of the dire shortfall in
industrial land in the East Pilbara, particularly in and around Newman?
(2) Has the minister
sought advice from the Minister for Planning and Lands as to why there is no
progress on light and general industrial land development?
(3) If yes to (2), what was that advice, and did
the minister outline why there is no progress on developing industrial land by
DevelopmentWA now that native title has been cleared on the sites?
(4) Will the minister back up the rhetoric and
commit to delivering new industrial land with timelines?
