(2) See (1) above (3) In September 2005, the WAPC considered a Local Subdivision and Infrastructure Plan for Parkerville, which indicated a subdivision design and residential densities on the 'Urban Deferred' land. The WAPC resolved in respect of this plan to exclude the 'Urban Deferred' land. No further Local Subdivision and Infrastructure Plans have been received for the 'Urban Deferred' land. (4) The WAPC will consider all issues relevant to the development of the land, consistent with the WAPC guidelines and policies, should a Local Subdivision and Infrastructure Plan come before it for its endorsement. (5) Appended to the Local Subdivision and Infrastructure Plan referred to in (3) above, were the following environmental documents: i) Records of Soil and Hydrology Investigations (November 1996); ii) Rare Flora Survey (August 1996); iii) Fauna Inspection and Assessment of Conservation Issues (September 1996) (6) The site contains watercourses. John Forrest National Park is not reserved for Water Catchment purposes in the Metropolitan Region Scheme. (7) The matter is being considered by the WAPC, not by the Minister. (8) Any proposed subdivision and development of the area will be required to meet the relevant requirements of the Environmental Protection Authority and Department of Water in respect of these matters.
