QuestionView source ↗

I refer to a letter of appeal dated March 4 2003 from the Williamstown Residents Committee which I understand was faxed and also sent by mail -
(1) Will the Appeals Convenor be visiting Kalgoorlie given that the Williamstown Residents Committee has specifically requested this in the letter in order that important evidence supporting their concerns under the
Environmental Protection Act 1986
can be presented and understood?
(2) If no to (1), why not?
(3) If yes, can the Minister state approximately on what specific date or month this will occur?
