BAY MARINA DEVELOPMENT
1036. Hon LYNN MacLAREN to the
parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Lands:
I refer to the canal housing estate and marina proposed for
Mangles Bay.
(1) Will the
minister please table all legal advice obtained on the implications of breaking
the 1964 Point Peron commonwealth–state land transfer agreement between
the then WA Premier Sir David Brand and Prime Minister Sir Robert Menzies?
(2) How much
does LandCorp stand to profit and what percentage of profit will Cedar Woods or
its associated companies pocket from the use of this land that was given to the
people of Western Australia for recreational use?

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.
(1) Legal
advice received by LandCorp is subject to legal professional privilege. There
are no registered encumbrances on the title that restrict the state's
right to use the land for the intended purpose of the project.
(2) The
quantum of profit to LandCorp and the percentage to Cedar Woods cannot be
accurately ascertained at this point in time as state government and planning
approvals for the proposed development are yet to be lodged and progressed.
