QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the land containing the Perth airport that is leased by the commonwealth government to Westralia Airports Corporation. (1) Will the minister excise the 600 hectares of this land identified in the Bush Forever site 325 for the purpose of nature conservation and to provide a buffer zone to aeronautical activities? (2) If no to (1), why not? (3) Will the minister establish a foothills regional conservation park, which will link the Swan River to the Canning River along the eastern side of the Swan coastal plain, including Perth airport, Hartfield Park, the Brixton Street wetlands and other sites already identified with native vegetation under the management of the Department of Conservation and Land Management? (4) If no to (3), why not? Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH
AnswerView source ↗
I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. The Minister for the Environment and for Science has provided the following response for parts (3) and (4); the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure has provided the following response for parts (1) and (2) - (1)-(2) The Western Australian government has no power to excise land from Perth airport. Given that the airport has been leased to Westralia Airports Corporation by the commonwealth government, any excision of land required by the state government can occur only with the consent of both the lessee and the commonwealth government. Under the commonwealth Constitution, the states cannot compulsorily acquire land from the commonwealth of Australia. Flora and fauna on the commonwealth land is afforded protection under the commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. State planning and environmental laws generally do not apply to commonwealth land unless applied by specific commonwealth statute. Land use on the Perth airport land is controlled by the 2004 Perth airport master plan, which includes an environmental strategy. The master plan was approved by the federal Minister for Transport and Regional Services on 10 August 2004. The master plan is reviewed every five years. (3)-(4) The proposal for the foothills regional park by the Urban Bushland Council is with the Department of Conservation and Land Management for its advice. That proposal includes a number of parcels of land with mixed ownership, only some of which are currently managed by CALM. The task of identifying the tenure of the numerous parcels of land and evaluating the merit of inclusion in a regional park is being undertaken by the Department of Conservation and Land Management in consultation with the Department for Planning and Infrastructure. The minister indicates that she will await that advice in relation to further consideration of a foothills regional park.
