QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the liability issues that are delaying Lake Kepwari from becoming a major tourism drawcard and the epicentre of water-based recreational activities in the South West. This recreational facility was set to open to the public in 2008; however, access to the public continues to be delayed. I ask:
(a) can the Minister advise what progress has been made towards opening the site since he went to visit Lake Kepwari in July 2009;
(b) when does the Minister envisage capital works to begin on the project; and
(c) what is the expected date of opening?

(a)-(c) Government agencies are working with Wesfarmers Premier Coal on resolving a range of issues associated with rehabilitation of the mining void, statutory requirements for land surrender and public liability matters in order to ensure that the area can be used for recreational purposes. Once these matters are resolved, capital works will be able to commence and when completed, the facility opened for public recreational use.
