I refer to the Minister’s answers to questions on notice 2003
and 2004, and I ask: (a) when did the Minister receive the final version of State
Planning Policy 2.9 (SPP 2.9) from the Western Australian Planning Commission; (b) why has the Minister failed to release it; (c) is the Minister aware that this important planning policy is urgently needed to ensure wise planning for the protection of our water resources, as climate change is already
affecting them; (d) when will the Minister release SPP 2.9 and
implement it; and (e) when will the Minister release the associated Wetland Buffer Guidelines, which were released for public comment in 2005 and
referred to in question on notice 2004?
