I thank the member for some notice of the question. Before I answer it, I note that I was pleased to hear Hon Ljiljanna Ravlich make some quite positive remarks about this initiative last week. Hon Ljiljanna Ravlich : That’s because it started in 2002. Hon DONNA FARAGHER : It is a pity it did not rub off on her colleague Hon Sally Talbot, who was very negative about a very positive initiative. That is a problem for the two of them. Hon Ljiljanna Ravlich : We don’t have a problem. Hon DONNA FARAGHER : The member should not get upset; I said it was good to see Hon Ljiljanna Ravlich being very supportive. (1) For new sites, due diligence includes compatibility with management plans, rare flora and fauna surveys, heritage assessments, native title clearances and groundwater studies. (2) Kurrajong is a previously disturbed campsite. Aboriginal heritage and native title clearances were given in 2004 by the Purnululu Park Council, which includes representatives of the native title claimants. (3) Not applicable. The proposed Kurrajong site is consistent with the Purnululu National Park management plan, which is a statutory plan for the park under the Conservation and Land Management Act 1984, and has been used as a camping ground since 1987. (4)-(5) No. However, the Purnululu National Park management plan provides for a campsite at Kurrajong with a water supply, toilets and camping ground. When proposals are received, normal environmental and cultural assessments will apply to ensure there are no significant impacts from the proposal.
