AnswerView source ↗

I thank the member for some notice of this question. The Heritage Council of Western Australia advises - (1) Yes; it is listed in the state register under the Heritage of Western Australia Act 1990. (2) The jetty will be partially conserved. As I understand it, LandCorp proposes to demolish part of the 1970s inner section of the jetty but retain the outer section, including the lookout platform. Timber decking from the demolished section would be used for interpretive material, including seating. The earliest portion of the jetty, including the remnant material buried under landfill in the past, would not be affected. (3) As above. (4) This is a registered place, and I understand that LandCorp has referred the proposal to the Heritage Council for its advice, as required under the act.
