Department of Water and Environmental Regulation—Mindarie
Regional Council—Works approval application
520. Hon Dr Brad Pettitt to the Minister for the
Environment:
I refer to the
Mindarie Regional Council's work approval applications for the construction of
a piggyback landfill cell and leachate management area and community reports
that the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation is delaying the
assessment process for the applications.
(1) What is the status of the assessment of
these works approval applications?
(2) When does DWER anticipate the
assessment process will be completed?
(3) Is it possible that the delay in
assessing these applications could cause delays to the planned closure of the
Tamala Park landfill in 2028?
