PEMBERTON MILL SITE
1261. Hon SOPHIA MOERMOND to the parliamentary secretary
representing the Minister for Environment:
I refer to correspondence sent from
the minister's office, reference 79-14245, on 9 May 2024 to South West
Region constituents Mr Henk Dirks and Mrs Deborah Dirks in relation to their
request for all copies of the detailed summary of records for the Pemberton
mill site on the reported sites register to be publicly available, fee-free,
for the local community. Given that six months has passed and the record access
costs amount to thousands of dollars, can the minister please advise how long
this community will have to wait for free access to these records?
