(1) Yes.
(2)–(3) The
government has not made any decisions to amend the metropolitan region scheme
in relation to Whiteman Park. It should be noted that the previous government
was planning to locate a cemetery in the area, and the City of Swan was working
with the then government to develop a sporting complex in this region as well.
