(2) The establishment of P. pinaster seedlings took place between 1926 and 1937, with the total area planted to this Plantation being approximately 1,000 acres. (3) The majority of the land in the Collier Pine Plantation (and any trees remaining on that land) has been sold or transferred to other Local, State and Commonwealth Government departments, namely: (a) Curtin University; (b) Technology Park; (c) Collier Park Golf Course (City of South Perth); and (d) Commonwealth Scientific Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO). The remaining area of the original plantation accommodates the Department of Conservation and Land Management (CALM) and its buildings, which totals 9.3 hectares. (4) CALM has advised that pine trees are an important local food supply for black cockatoos, but the remaining Plantation pine trees are not significant in relation to the overall area of pines in other parts of the metropolitan area, such as State Forest 65. (5) No (6) There are already a number of policies for the preservation of habitats throughout the State and to encourage the re-vegetation of cleared land. Developments in the metropolitan area would be unnecessarily restricted by the implementation of such a one-for-one policy.
