Before I ask my question I am tempted to ask the Minister for Local Government and Regional Development why he is here today! However, I will resist the temptation. Someone asked which airport had been fogged in today! I return to my question. I refer the minister to the Government’s decision to resume a two-kilometre coastal strip of land from pastoral properties along the Ningaloo coast. (1) Has the two-kilometre line been drawn to follow the coastline so that only two kilometres of land is resumed? (2) If so, why are some pastoral property owners being told that they could lose significantly more coastal strip land than two kilometres? (3) Will the minister table a map showing the land to be resumed; and, if not, why not? Hon LJILJANNA RAVLICH

I thank the member for some notice of this question. I provide the response on behalf of the parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure. (1) For pastoral leases for which the acquiring authority is the Department for Planning and Infrastructure, the Department of Fisheries or the Shire of Carnarvon, the proposed excluded coastal strip is one kilometre. When the acquiring authority is the Department of Conservation and Land Management, the exclusion is two kilometres, or, on the northern portion of Ningaloo station, to the eastern boundary of the lease. (2) All exclusions are generally within the tolerances of the geographic information systems based on distances of one or two kilometres from the high water mark. (3) Maps showing all areas proposed for exclusion from pastoral leases have been available on the Department for Planning and Infrastructure web site since November 2002.
