YAKKA MUNGA STATION —
LAND CLEARING
955. Hon ROBIN CHAPPLE to the Minister for Environment:
I have a question on the same point.
I refer to the Yakka Munga station Appeals Convenor report and the minister's
appeal determination.
(1) What is the
minister's understanding of the method of provision of stock watering,
such as bores, channels or canals?
(2) Of the 120 hectares
that have been cleared, how much of this was for water retention and how much
was for roadways?
(3) Does the minister know the extent of the proposed
works that were curtailed by the vegetation conservation notice; and, if
so, what were they?
(4) Prior to 7 June 2019, had Zenith Australia
Investment Holding Pty Ltd or any of its agents and/or contractors had
any discussions or made any application with the minister's department
or the Pastoral Lands Board about its land clearing proposals?
(5) If yes to (4), what were they, when did they occur and
what response was given?
(6) Will Zenith
Australia Investment Holding Pty Ltd or its agents and/or contractors now be
required to rehabilitate the 115 hectares?
