QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the The Jaburara Heritage Trail in Karratha, and ask -
(1) Is the Minister aware that the The Jaburara Heritage Walking Trail is being accessed by vehicles at its eastern end?
(2) Given the The Jaburara Heritage Trail is surrounded by and contains Indigenous heritage material in site 11575, will the Minister immediately stop motor vehicles accessing, and destroying this site?
(3) Will the Minister ensure that the relevant authorities, including his own, take action to immediately cease these anti social activities, that are putting trail walkers at risk?
