I thank the member for some notice
of the question.
(1)–(3) As
an advisory committee, members only meet at the request of the Western
Australian Planning Commission. The last official meeting was 5 May 2010. Dr Garry
Middle is the only current member of the committee. On 6 August 2013, in
accordance with the Planning and Development Act 2005, Dr Middle was appointed
to the Western Australian Planning Commission as the coastal planning and
management representative. The government response to coastal planning matters
is ongoing. Core to this framework was gazettal of ''State Planning
Policy No. 2.6: State Coastal Planning Policy'' and its review and
revision as gazetted in July 2013. This policy provides the government's
overarching approach to and requirements for coastal planning and management.
The Perth coastal planning strategy was completed in January 2011 and has been
progressively implemented through Directions 2031
of the question.
