I refer to the proposed Greenpatch Dalyellup subdivision of

decisions relating to the proposed Greenpatch subdivision?
(2) If yes, which decisions did the modelling studies
influence, and how?

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the
question.
(1)–(2)
The September 2007 odour modelling for the Bunbury wastewater treatment plant
was used to determine special control area 4 in the greater Bunbury region
scheme. Any land use planning is required to be consistent with the GBRS. A
proposed structure plan for Greenpatch is currently being assessed by the Western
Australian Planning Commission. In the structure plan, residential development
is guided by the odour modelling and is consistent with SCA4. The structure
plan is yet to be determined by the WAPC. At this time, no application has been
received for a subdivision in Greenpatch.
