AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) I am advised by the Department of Environment and Conservation that Directions 2031 does not propose any rezoning of areas of Paganoni swamp bushland. However, there is a proposal in the southern metropolitan and Peel regional structure plan, which was released in 2009, that 48 hectares of Paganoni swamp be investigated for a possible future Karnup train station development. The report noted the significant development constraints that would need to be assessed for this to proceed. Such a change in land use would require a metropolitan region scheme amendment, which would be subject to parliamentary review and would require environmental assessment. (2) I am aware that the area has been identified as containing important values, including for the chuditch, or western quoll, and the brush-tailed phascogale. I am advised that both these species were confirmed as present at Paganoni in April this year by researchers from the University of Western Australia. (3)–(4) As identified in (1), such a change in land use would require a metropolitan region scheme amendment, which would be subject to parliamentary review and would require environmental assessment, with which I would be involved. DEC will also continue to work with the Department of Planning regarding conservation values of this bushland. WUNGONG CATCHMENT THINNING TRIAL — CONSERVATION COMMISSION REPORT 2. Hon GIZ WATSON to the Minister for Environment: Further to the question without notice, which according to my notes is number 1465, relating to the Conservation Commission’s performance assessment of the Wungong catchment thinning trial, I ask — (1) Will the minister please state on what date she received the report as requested in the previous question? (2) What further processes are awaiting the release of the report? Hon DONNA FARAGHER replied: I thank the member for some notice of this question, and I ask that she refer to Legislative Council question without notice 302.
