QuestionView source ↗
I refer the Premier to the EPA’s advice on the Coral Coast Resort proposal for Mauds Landing which states ‘ … the impacts associated with the footprint of the proposal could be managed to meet the EPA’s environmental objectives with satisfactory implementation of environmental management commitments and recommended conditions, …’ ‘… the proposal should not be approved for implementation unless the government is able to - identify and confirm the environmental management resources required across the natural resource management sectors to adequately protect all values of the Ningaloo Marine Park and its adjacent coastline …’, and ask -
(1) Since the Government is currently undertaking an assessment of the long term management of Ningaloo, through the Future Ningaloo process, why wasn’t the decision on the Mauds Landing development made subsequent to the findings of the Future Ningaloo process, as recommended by the EPA?
(2) Since the Premier has claimed in Parliament that this Government is interested in public views on Ningaloo, why didn’t the Government leave the Mauds Landing development option in the public discussion paper?
