WATER CORPORATION LAND, BEENYUP
My question relates to the leasing of Water Corporation land at Beenyup. (1) Is the minister aware of the contractor’s contempt for the lease conditions of this site, particularly the starting times for work, and the effect that has on noise levels early in the morning? (2) Has the Water Corporation monitored the use of these facilities in the early morning? If yes, what did it find; and, if not, why not? (3) What plans are in place to ensure the proper future use of these facilities so that nearby residents are not the innocent victims of continual antisocial behaviour by certain contractors? Hon N.D. GRIFFITHS

AnswerView source ↗

(1) A resident has made the Water Corporation aware of noise levels early in the morning. (2) No. Since the lease commenced in January 1999, about six or seven complaints about noise levels have been received. The number of complaints does not warrant continual monitoring. (3) The lessee has been reminded of his obligations under the planning conditions imposed by the Department for Planning and Infrastructure, and the lease operates on a month-to-month basis.
