AnswerView source ↗
I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. (1) The Department for Planning and Infrastructure is aware that there are subdivisions that have recently been developed in the immediate proximity of the caravan park. (2) The redevelopment of the caravan park would require planning approval to be granted by the local government. This would involve the owner or applicant making a planning application under the local planning scheme. The caravan park is situated within the boundaries of the Falcon Village Precinct Plan, which was prepared under the local planning scheme to guide future development of an area comprising about 85 hectares. This precinct plan has been endorsed by the Western Australian Planning Commission. The precinct plan designates the western half of the caravan park as mixed use tourist-residential, and designates the eastern half as tourist development, subject to a development guide plan. For development to take place within the tourist development area, a development guide plan needs to be approved by the local government. A development guide plan needs to undergo a process of adoption, public advertising and approval at the local government level. Development approval may also be required from the Western Australian Planning Commission under the Peel Region Scheme depending on the nature of the proposed redevelopment. If the land is proposed to be subdivided, approval would be required from the Western Australian Planning Commission. (3) The Department of Housing has advised that it has been liaising with the residents and manager of the Miami caravan park over recent months and informed residents of the housing options available to them, including private rental bond assistance and Keystart finance. The Department of Housing has listed eligible applicants for public housing, some on a priority basis. At least one resident has already accepted an offer of public housing. (4) Should the Western Australian Planning Commission’s approval be required for any redevelopment of the caravan park under the Peel Region Scheme or for a subdivision application relating to the caravan park site, consideration will be given to protecting tuart trees in good condition where reasonable and practical to do so.
