PLANNING — MARINE PARADE, COTTESLOE
1053. Hon NEIL THOMSON to the Leader of the House
representing the Minister for Planning:
I
refer to four developments that have been, or are being, considered by the Western
Australian Planning Commission through
the state development assessment unit, being 94 Marine Parade, 120 Marine
Parade, 122 Marine Parade and 140 Marine Parade in Cottesloe.
(1) Given that
each of these development proposals does not comply in some way with the local
planning scheme, is the WAPC seeking a review of the local planning scheme?
(2) Given that the Environmental Protection Agency
endorsed the LPS, will the WAPC refer the Marine Parade proposals
collectively to the EPA for its support before approving them?
(3) Is the
minister still committed to strategic planning through local planning schemes?
