The Minister Replied:
(a) Two Harvey Shire Councillors have been appointed to the Committee. I suggest that these Shire Councillors, as elected community representatives, are well placed to represent the community. Further, one of these Councillors is a member of the Kemerton Community Committee. In addition, a representative of the South West Chamber of Commerce and Industry has been appointed to the Committee to represent the small business interests of the community.
(b) Not applicable.
(c) No. The Committee is established by me and exists to assist me and my Department of Resources Development in the management of the industrial estate.
