I thank the honourable member for
some notice of her question.
(1) I am advised
by the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions that it is
estimated that over 90 collaborative arrangements exist or have been newly
created for 2018–19 under the classes of shoreline management,
catchment management, research and development, community engagement and education. Organisations include other state
government agencies, local governments, research institutions and
community groups.
(2) These
collaborative agreements help deliver a wide range of water quality, foreshore
restoration and stabilisation, catchment restoration, public amenity, incident
response, citizen science and behaviour change outcomes for the Swan and
Canning rivers.
(3) These
documents cannot be tabled in the time available as approval of the
participating partner agencies and management
organisations would first need to be obtained. Further, each agreement is
around 30 pages long, totalling hundreds of pages across the more than
90 agreements. I would be happy to offer the honourable member a briefing on
this matter.
