AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for the question. Obviously it is relevant to his electorate as well as to members in the metropolitan area whose electorates include substantial parts of the coastline. It goes without saying that just about everybody in the Perth metropolitan area places a high value and importance on the coastline as well as access to beaches and the adjacent areas. From a social point of view, economic point of view and environmental point of view, and bearing in mind recreational and tourism activities, our coastline is of crucial importance. As the member indicated in his question, it is important that we get an appropriate balance between allowing development in a responsible way and also ensuring that adequate conservation of sensitive and important areas is maintained. I am pleased that a lot of work has been undertaken within the Department for Planning and Infrastructure and the Western Australian Planning Commission over the past couple of years to prepare the “Draft Perth Coastal Planning Strategy”. It has had a fair degree of public input in its preparation, but it is now going out for public comment as a draft. Submissions will be received up to 31 March next year. It is an important draft strategy because it will guide the developments along Perth’s coastline over the next 10 to 15 years. Some people are passionate about the use of our coastline, irrespective of whether they swim at the beaches, use surf skis, are four-wheel drive users, fishers, paddle sport enthusiasts or people who want to engage in property development. All these competing interests need to be balanced and particular areas designated as areas of priority for specific activities. It is worth noting that the strategy has taken into account the Perth recreational boating facilities study and provides recommendations for potential boating facilities and marina development. The document identifies 56 individual coastal precincts, and it examines what is appropriate for each area. Mr M. McGowan : Wind it up. Mr J.H.D. DAY : I thought the member for Rockingham would be interested in this issue. It is a significant issue. A lot of the work was done in the time of the previous government, but unfortunately it did not progress very far in 2008, until the change of government occurred. I encourage members and the wider community who have an interest in this issue to read the document and to make a submission.
