I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. I note that in the question that was lodged, it
says ''electronic only is fine'' not ''electronic only is
preferred'', so there is that difference.
(1) The
Department of Water and Environmental Regulation has received the 2019 and 2018
annual environmental reports.
(2) The 2020 annual environmental report has not been
received, as it is not due to be submitted to DWER until June 2021.
(3) I table the
2019 and 2018 annual environmental reports.
(4) DWER has
advised that Tronox is currently updating the final closure plan for the
Dalyellup waste residue disposal facility as
a result of a review from the department. I table version 3 of the plan, which
is currently being revised.
