PLANNING — BINNINGUP GOLF COURSE
1049. Hon BEN DAWKINS to the minister representing the Minister
for Planning:
I refer to the Binningup golf course.
(1) Now that
the Western Australian Planning Commission has been taken to the Supreme Court
over outstanding developer obligations under town planning scheme 12 relating
to the golf course, will the minister suggest that the WAPC roll these
outstanding obligations into the new Shire of Harvey local planning scheme 2,
which is what occurred with other guided development schemes such as the City
of Canning's guided development scheme?
(2) If not,
then how does the minister intend to compensate residents who have spent more
than $50 million buying and building in the estate on the promise of
infrastructure, community open space and amenity, which the government now says
they cannot have?

The following response has been provided by the Minister for
Planning.
(1)–(2)
As the member has advised the minister's office that he has lodged
proceedings in the Supreme Court, and in keeping with longstanding conventions,
it would not be appropriate for the minister to comment on a matter now before
the courts.
