QuestionView source ↗
LOTS 597, 756 AND 782 JARVIS ROAD, BALDIVIS
I refer to discussions over lots 597, 756 and 782 at Jarvis Road, Baldivis. (1) Now the roadworks are completed, will the minister state whether the purchasers may inspect the properties and the two houses offered? (2) If the amended line is adopted on lot 597, will the minister arrange for pegs to be placed on the ground indicating the exact area under construction in order that Mr W. and Mrs J. Higginson may precisely confirm the area? (3) If not, why not? Hon ADELE FARINA

I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. (1)-(3) The Western Australian Planning Commission has informed Mr and Mrs Higginson that it is awaiting finalisation of appeals, including those of the Higginsons, by the Minister for the Environment against the recommendations of the Environmental Protection Authority in respect of metropolitan region scheme amendment 1050/33 that will establish the boundary of the parks and recreation reservation over Stakehill Swamp. This is a statutory process currently in its final stages. When the reservation boundary is established, the WAPC has committed to arrange for a licensed surveyor to install survey pegs showing the reservation. This would occur prior to the MRS amendment 1050/33 being tabled in both houses of Parliament. The Western Australian Planning Commission properties identified for possible sale to Mr and Mrs Higginson, as part of a land exchange for the land reserved by MRS amendment 1050/33, include a property with two established houses. Those houses are currently the subject of separate residential tenancies, and the tenants must be given reasonable notice before the landlord may show prospective purchasers through. At the time the WAPC arranges the survey, arrangements will be made for the Higginsons to view the houses. The WAPC has committed to guarantee that the Higginsons have a first right of refusal to purchase any of the exchange properties outlined in the package presented by the minister in her letter dated 7 July 2006. This will stand for a period of 18 months after MRS amendment 1050/33 becomes effective. This will enable the Higginsons to consider the total package in an orderly manner, knowing they have time to consider their options. Valuations of the Higginson and WAPC properties would be as at the date any exchange actually occurred within that 18-month period, as outlined in the response to question without notice 1662, which I do not believe the member has asked yet.
