LOT 500 KARRI WAY, FERNDALE — REZONING
792. Hon LYNN MacLAREN to the minister
representing the Minister for Planning:
(1) In the
rezoning of lot 500 Karri Way, Ferndale, does the minister agree that the
public should continue to be able to access the grassed area adjacent to the
bushland and school?
(2) How does the
minister propose to replace the loss of open space currently enjoyed by
residents of Ferndale in the rezoning of lot 500 to private clubs and
institutions and residential Rl7.5/R30?
(3) What steps
will the minister take to protect the existing environmental values of the
remnant bushland in view of the increased density and activity proposed for the
site?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the
member for some notice of the question.
(1)–(3) Proposed
amendment 177 has not yet been presented to the Minister for Planning for a
decision on final approval. Following consideration of public submissions by
the City of Canning, the Western Australian Planning Commission will make a
recommendation to the minister on those submissions and the amendment itself.
In making his decision, the minister will consider all matters raised and
therefore it would not be appropriate to pre-empt the outcomes of the amendment
process.
