AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for his question. I am aware that a number of members, on this side of the house certainly, including the member for Midland in her role as a member representing a nearby area, share concerns about the brickworks. The Westralia Airports Corporation announced on 9 May that it had reached an agreement with BGC for the sublease of 31 hectares of land at Hazelmere for the purpose of new brickworks. As members would be aware, that is commonwealth land, so it is outside the state’s jurisdiction. This confirmed rumours we had been hearing. I wrote to the federal minister in mid-January outlining concerns about the rumour and the possible location of the brickworks. I pointed out to him that there would be problems with that location, and also that the state government had been looking at brickworks and had implemented a new environmental licensing policy early in 2004. This policy sets out certain levels of emissions for new brickworks, and contains a phasing-in period for existing brickworks. I pointed out to Senator Campbell that BGC’s proposal to build brickworks at the airport would add to the emissions in the local area. Specifically, I requested that any brickworks proposal should meet the standards Western Australia applies in its jurisdiction. I received a reply from Senator Campbell in March in which he stated that he understood that BGC had given a commitment to meet the standards set by our licensing policy. However, I am yet to see that commitment in writing. The approaches that have been made to us at a state level would not necessarily indicate that. Senator Campbell went on to say that he agreed that it would be appropriate for any standards applied to this proposal to be at least equivalent to those applied by the Western Australian government. I welcome his commitment in that regard. He went on to advise that the brickworks proposal would require a major development plan, which would be open for public comment for a period of 90 days. His role would then be to decide whether an environmental assessment was required - fundamentally, the federal minister will decide whether the environmental assessment will occur. I also have a briefing note from the federal Department of the Environment and Heritage that states that if the federal minister decides that this proposal is not likely to have a significant environmental impact, the proposal will not require assessment and approval under the federal Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act. The note also indicates that if the minister makes that decision, it would have an adverse impact on the provision of environmental standards down the track. Despite Senator Campbell having said the right thing in the letter he wrote to me and in some undertakings he gave to the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure, he has not yet said that he will subject the proposal to the federal act and the advice from his department is that if he does not do that, there will be problems from an environmental point of view. This Parliament has looked at a number of issues with which the commonwealth has been riding roughshod over the state. This state has a very fine policy for the brickworks that raises the standard. Complaints have been received from some sections in the industry; nevertheless, we think the environmental emissions are significant and we need to take heed of them. I urge the commonwealth and its minister to look at this proposal seriously and to not ride roughshod over the state. Mr C.J. Barnett : Take control! Dr J.M. EDWARDS : We cannot take control; it is on federal land. There is nothing more we would like to do than to take control of this proposal. I would be happy for the Environmental Protection Authority to set a level of assessment and for us to proceed tomorrow, but it is beyond our capacity to do that. Legally, we do not have the power. This is an example of the commonwealth, aided by the state Liberals, wanting to roll over this state. We should not let that happen.
