I refer the Premier to his decision to reject the Coral Coast Resort proposal and ask -
(1) Is the Premier cognisant of the fact that the EPA had found that the biophysical and pollution impacts associated with the proposal’s footprint could be managed to meet the EPA’s environmental objectives with satisfactory implementation of environmental management commitments and recommended conditions?
(2) Is so, why did the Premier claim, in his ‘Open Letter’, that the ‘environmental risks and management needs for the proposal have not been demonstrated to be environmentally acceptable’?
(3) Why didn’t the Premier discuss the proposal with other relevant Ministers and agencies, following receipt of the Appeals Committee Report, to assess the capacity of government to establish adequate, long term management of the Ningaloo coast?
