WESTPORT
396. Hon COLIN de GRUSSA to the Leader of the House
representing the Minister for Ports:
I refer to the lack of recent media
on the Westport project.
(1) Has any environmental consideration been made for
the impact of Westport on Penguin Island and Garden Island; and, if yes,
please table it?
(2) Have
on-ground trials examining seagrass restoration and habitat creation started;
and, if yes, what research is underway?
(3) When is the
Westport landside logistics opportunities study expected to be released, and
will the minister table the document in Parliament?
(4) Has the
Westport office now developed updated long-term container trade forecasts; and,
if yes, can these please be tabled?
