QuestionView source ↗
(1) (a) Prior to the construction of buildings - that is, prior to the completion of earthworks - at the motorplex site in Kwinana, is the proponent required to carry out a further individual fatality risk assessment as stated in ministerial condition 8.1? (b) If so, when was the individual fatality risk assessment completed and referred to the Environmental Protection Authority and the Minister for the Environment? (2) Has the Minister for the Environment approved the new individual fatality risk assessment; and, if so, when? (3) Are two toilet blocks and/or a walkway under construction or have they been completed at the motorplex site; and, if not, what is currently under construction at the site? (4) Has the proponent breached ministerial condition 8.1; and, if not, why not? The PRESIDENT: The last part of the question, if I heard it correctly, seemed to be seeking an opinion. However, as I may not have heard it in its full context, I will leave it to the Attorney General to work through the various answers. Hon PETER FOSS
AnswerView source ↗
(1) (a) Yes. (b) The final individual fatality risk assessment report was received by the minister on 18 August 2000 and referred to the Environmental Protection Authority on 24 August 2000. (2) No. The Minister for the Environment is awaiting advice from the EPA and the Kwinana motorsport management committee before considering the report. (3) Two toilet blocks and a footbridge are under construction but have not yet been completed. (4) No. The proponent has advised the Department of Environmental Protection that the design of the facility has been changed and that it is not planned to construct any substantial buildings. The DEP does not consider that the current construction of toilet blocks, footbridges, crash barriers and the like is inconsistent with the intent of the condition relating to risk assessment.
