(1-2) No
(3) No. I am advised that in lieu of access to appropriate functioning groundwater bores at the old Centenary Park landfill site, the Department of Water, on behalf of the Swan River Trust, undertook sampling of the sediment and surface water in the Canning Estuary in Clontarf Bay in late 2010. I understand this sampling was in response to concerns raised by a member of the public regarding the potential leaching of contaminants into the river at that location. I am advised that the Swan River Trust has provided these results directly to the concerned member of the public
