I ask this question in relation to the Minister’s responsibilities for the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC). There have been long-standing problems in the development of Lot 36 Gribble Road, Gwelup by Moss Glades Pty Ltd into a retirement village known as Karrinyup Lakes Lifestyle Village (KLLV). Residents of the KLLV wrote to the Minister on 29 January 2007 pleading for the Minister’s assistance in resolving the problems between themselves, the City of Stirling and the developer. Will the Minister please advise -
(1) Why has the Minister not replied to this letter?
(2) When will the Minister reply to this letter?
(3) Will the Minister make a commitment to intercede with the WAPC to resolve the long-standing problems involved?
(4) Does the WAPC have the power to resolve matters of building approval between Local Councils and property developers?
(a) If so, why has it not used that power to resolve an issue that has been a problem for the local council, residents and the developer since 2002?
(b) If the WAPC does not possess that power, will the Minister initiate a review of its operations to enable it to resolve conflicts rather than allowing them to continue in this manner?
