QuestionView source ↗
In relation to the Swan River Trust's submission to the Metropolitan Amendment scheme proposal regarding the Perth Waterfront, I ask:
(a) why did the Swan River Trust identify some problems with the process and identify a number of processes that needed to be met, as well as note that the environmental impact issues were undervalued in the assessment and needed to be raised to a high rather than medium level; and
(b) do you share your expert officers' view, and if not, why not?

(a)-(b) The Swan River Trust provided a response to the proposed Metropolitan Region Scheme amendment for the Perth Waterfront project and the Environmental Assessment Report that was prepared in support of it.
The Environmental Assessment Report is a scoping document that identifies the need for further management responses to potential impacts. The Environmental Protection Authority will decide the level of assessment required for the project when the development applications are referred to it by the Department for Planning under section 38 of the Environmental Protection Act 1986.
