LANDS — 26 MATHER DRIVE, NEERABUP —
BUSH FOREVER
792. Hon KEN TRAVERS to the minister
representing the Minister for Lands:
I refer to the land currently being
offered for sale at 26 Mather Drive, Neerabup.
(1) Which agency currently owns this
land?
(2) Is the land identified as Bush
Forever?
(3) Was the land
offered to the WA Planning Commission to allow it to become part of the
conservation estate; and, if no, why not?
(4) What is
proposed to happen to the land adjoining this block that is also identified as
Bush Forever?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the member for some notice
of the question.
(1) Twenty-six
Mather Drive, Neerabup or lot 40 on diagram 78186, is currently held in
freehold by the Electricity Networks Corporation.
(2)–(4) The
disposal of this site is being prepared by Western Power and as such all
questions regarding this sale should be referred to the Minister for Energy.
Hon Ken Travers : That's not how the process
works.
Hon DONNA FARAGHER : I have just seen this answer. Given
that the honourable member will be leaving this place later this week, I will
ensure it is passed on to the Minister for Energy to see whether an answer can
be provided to him in good time.
Hon Ken Travers : You set a good example to your
colleagues.
