(2) The purchase of private lands to become national park will be undertaken by the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) using Metropolitan Region Improvement Funds. The WAPC will recoup some costs from Westrail, Main Roads WA and the Water Corporation based on the area of land each agency has required for their respective public work. (3) Yes. The areas for inclusion were based on their conservation values and the consolidation of the national park boundaries. I believe an assessment of the areas for inclusion were assessed by V&C Semeniuk Research Group during the North West Corridor planning process. (4) The land in question is currently protected from development by reservation under the Metropolitan Scheme for Parks and Recreation and will be purchased to a timetable that takes into account the owner's requirements. One property is currently the subject of a claim for compensation in the Supreme Court following the WAPC's refusal of a development application.
