BOATING HARBOUR — FLAT ROCK, AUGUSTA
(1) Is the minister aware of the proposal for a safe boating harbour or marina at Flat Rock, Augusta? (2) Has the minister been approached for support and commitment? (3) Does the minister support this proposal; and, if not, why not? Hon JON FORD

AnswerView source ↗

I thank Hon Barry House for the question. (1)-(3) No. Hon Barry House : No—you’re not aware of it? Hon JON FORD : No, I am not aware of it. Certainly, not— Hon Barry House : That amazes me—the Minister for Fisheries; Regional Development is not aware of that. Hon JON FORD : —that specific development. The member would think that I would be responsible for boat ramps but I am not; that is the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure’s responsibility. Interestingly enough, I think I should be involved in that because that would be an input control in restricting access to the water. However, I will take the question on notice and give the member a proper response.
