KOOMBANA BAY, BUNBURY — FLOATING JETTY
I refer to the state government investment of $240 000 to build a floating jetty at Bunbury’s Koombana Bay through a South West Development Commission grant. (1) Has the proposal been referred to the Environmental Protection Authority? (2) If yes to (1), when? (3) If no to (1), why not? (4) If no to (1), does the minister concur with the statement by the previous minister that “It is a requirement that significant development proposals in Western Australia be assessed under the requirements of the EPA Act 1986. This will necessarily occur if conceptual plans for KBSC are progressed to a development proposal stage”? (5) If no to (4), why not? Hon HELEN MORTON
