BUREKUP — RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
I have a supplementary question. Having heard that, will the minister admit that housing developments and abattoirs are not a good mix, and that an alternative site for the agrifood precinct should be found in the south west? Mr B.J. GRYLLS

AnswerView source ↗

I did not admit that. Mr M.P. Murray : I heard what you said. Mr B.J. GRYLLS : I just said that those types of challenges arise all the time. That is why we have planning laws. That is why we have environmental laws. That is why we have a range of things. We have — Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Order, members! Mr B.J. GRYLLS : Again, these are complex individual issues and different issues arise out of each individual project. Mr P. Papalia interjected. The SPEAKER : Order, member for Warnbro! Mr B.J. GRYLLS : Again, as I have said, in my electorate, I have been heavily involved. I will very happily be heavily involved in the issue around Burekup. I do not think that we have actually identified that. I do not think that we have said that there will be a precinct there yet. Is that right, minister? Mr D.T. Redman : No—that is right. Mr B.J. GRYLLS : So it is proposed. Work is being done to look at all these issues, including community consultation. In that community consultation, obviously, people have raised concerns, as they should. That helps government look at the issue just as it has in the Avon Valley—the abattoir and the farming sector. There has been concern about urban encroachment on the Linley Valley abattoir. The shire and I, as the local member, are very keen to see a lifestyle village built around the infrastructure at El Caballo Blanco. It is infrastructure that has been underutilised for a long time. The whole Avon Valley corridor is growing very, very strongly and, again, government and the relevant processes will be used to ensure that we get the best outcome for each individual project. I look forward to the minister — Mr M.P. Murray : You are dodging the issue. Mr B.J. GRYLLS : Does the member have the information to give to me now? Mr M.P. Murray : I can give you about 20 pages. Mr B.J. GRYLLS : Beautiful. Thank you.
