I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) The design and construction of the Onslow seawall forms part of the work being undertaken by the Onslow Strategic Development Task Force, which held its first meeting on 7 June. (2) (a) The membership of the task force is extensive.  I seek leave to table a list of the members and subgroups of members that form it.  They are progressing issues relating to design and construction of the seawall. (b) The Onslow Strategic Development Task Force recommended that the marine division of the Department for Planning and Infrastructure be requested to examine the recommendations contained in the report by Halpern Glick Maunsell Pty Ltd prepared for the Shire of Ashburton.  This work has been completed and a number of points of clarification are being sought from the authors of the report. (3) Not applicable.
