SOUTH COAST MARINE PARK — INDICATIVE MANAGEMENT PLANS
993. Hon COLIN de GRUSSA to the parliamentary secretary representing the
Minister for Environment:
I refer to the proposed south coast
marine park.
(1) Have the
draft indicative management plans for the Wagyl Kaip, Wudjari, Ngadju and
Mirning been endorsed by the respective governing bodies?
(2) If no, can
the minister provide an indicative time frame within which endorsement of the
IMPs will be obtained?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the member for some notice
of the question. On behalf of the Minister for Environment I provide the
following answer.
(1) The Wagyl
Kaip Southern Noongar Aboriginal Corporation and the Esperance Tjaltjraak
Native Title Aboriginal Corporation have
endorsed their respective indicative joint management plans. The Ngadju Native Title
Aboriginal Corporation has advised that it does not currently have capacity to
engage in the process. The indicative
management plan seeks to enable opportunities for joint management with the
Ngadju Native Title Aboriginal Corporation in the future.
(2) Endorsement from the Mirning Traditional Lands
Aboriginal Corporation on the indicative joint management plans is
expected imminently.
