SOUTH COAST MARINE PARK
1458. Hon COLIN de GRUSSA to the parliamentary secretary
representing the Minister for Fisheries:
I refer to the response to question
without notice 1431.
(1) Was the
separate decision for the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and
Attractions to undertake a baseline socio-economic study made jointly by DBCA
and the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development as marine
planning partners?
(2) If yes to (1), on what basis was
the decision made to revise the scope to a baseline study?
(3) If no to (1),
was the decision made solely by DBCA; and, if so, how was this the case given
the joint planning arrangements between DPIRD and DBCA?
