LAND
RESUMPTIONS
1237. Hon NICK GOIRAN to the
parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Lands:
I refer to the answer by the immediate past Minister for
Lands to my questions on 6 and 7 March 2012 regarding the protracted uncertain
status of three holdings of land and note that some 32 months have passed since
the delivery of those answers.
(1) Is it true
that the then minister wrote to the landowners on 30 April 2012, stating that
compulsory acquisition will now commence?
(2) What is the current status of
this acquisition?
(3) Given that
the minister will have established certain professional standards for the
department, what target date has been set for the realisation of the
acquisition?

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) Yes. However,
one of the lots has since transferred to a new owner and negotiations have
commenced with that owner.
(2) Notice of
intent to take M590190 was lodged at Landgate in March 2013 over two subject
lots, lots 63 and 64, on plan 739. The Department of Lands has commenced
negotiations with the current registered proprietor of lot 507 on diagram 91207
in anticipation of reaching an agreement for the taking of interests.
(3) The
acquisition of state corridor rights within the Dampier to Bunbury natural gas
pipeline corridor is an ongoing project. A new process was implemented on 13 December
2013 under which all NOITTs undergo a comprehensive compliance assessment. The
taking of state corridor rights subject to NOITT M590190 will occur only after
additional land has been brought into the Dampier to Bunbury natural gas
pipeline corridor, and that is expected to be finalised by March 2015.
Negotiations are continuing with the owner of lot 507.
