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.
