The Minister for Energy has provided the following response: (1) Twelve thousand seedlings of specially selected species have been planted: Northern edge of the Roe Highway Reserve, adjacent to: · Timber Ridge Rttt to Heatherly Pwy, Leeming; · Fernleaf Crt, Leeming; · John O'Connell Reserve to Dundee St Leeming; · Hollingsworth Wy to Merrifield Cir, Leeming; · Arlington Dr to Tippett Ct, Willeton; · Bodymoat Pl, Willeton; · Willeri Dr to Pegley Dr, Willeton; · Jewell Ct to, Langford; · Cameron St to Valonia Rd, Langford; · Cortis Wy, Langford; · McBain Ct to Latimer Wy, Langford. Southern edge of the Roe Highway Reserve, adjacent to: · Oriole Wy, Thornlie. The City of Cockburn is now overseeing planting along road verges, with planting to begin in Bibra Lake and Leeming in December 2006. Screen planting for residential gardens in Bibra Lake and Leeming is being finalised with interested residents. The local Landcare Australia Group will manage this and plantings will begin in January 2007. (2) Trees were planted between 28 July 2006 and 11 August 2006 (3) Western Power engaged an external contractor at the cost of $27,000. (4) The plants are all local, native species and normally establish well in the conditions of the site and should not require watering. Some losses are expected during the establishment phase because of plant defects, weed competition, animal browsing, and climatic conditions. To cover such losses, the number of plants has been boosted 50% above the desired planting density. The desired planting density is also over-planted to allow for the natural attrition rate. As the trees mature, the stronger, dominate trees will form a canopy and weaker trees below will fail. The plants will be monitored for weed infestation and drought stress. If the survival rate drops below the expected levels, then additional plantings will be undertaken. This will be assessed during a second weed spraying expected to occur in the first half of 2007.

Some losses are expected during the establishment phase because of plant defects, weed competition, animal browsing, and climatic conditions. To cover such losses, the number of plants has been boosted 50% above the desired planting density. The desired planting density is also over-planted to allow for the natural attrition rate.
