MANGLES BAY MARINA
159. Hon LYNN MacLAREN to the minister
representing the Minister for Planning:
Further to question without notice
31 asked on 15 May 2013, I ask —
(1) Was the Western
Australian Planning Commission's contribution of $250 000 to
investigate the proposed Mangles Bay canal estate and marina derived from
metropolitan region improvement tax funds allocated for parks and reserves?
(2) If no to (1),
from which specific WAPC funding source, allocated for what purpose, was the
$250 000 derived and how was this decision justified?
(3) Did the
decision to make the $250 000 available include the condition that the WAPC
would be repaid; and, if so, by whom and when?
(4) Who approved the decision to
make the $250 000 available for the marina?
(5) Will the
minister please table or, if it is publicly available, refer me to the findings
of the WAPC-funded investigation?

I thank the member for some notice
of this question. Unfortunately, it is not enough notice. The Western Australian
Planning Commission is unable to provide the information within the required
time frame. I therefore ask that the honourable member place the question on
notice. The problem is that if a member asks a question that cannot be answered
in a three-hour turnaround, they will not get the answer that day.
Several members interjected.
The PRESIDENT : Order, members! You know that a question
should be concise and relevant, as answers must be. That question was a rather
detailed five-part question, and if there is only a three-hour turnaround, I think
you have to be realistic about those things.
