AnswerView source ↗
The Minister for Environment has provided the following
response —
(1) The Swan
River Trust will receive $3 million through the Burswood Casino levy in 2013–14
and will seek approval from the Burswood Park Board for $3 million in 2014–15
for river protection projects that the minister approves charged with
administering the Swan and Canning Rivers Management Act 2006. Given the
amalgamation the minister has announced, funding in 2014–15 is likely
to be received by the Department of Parks and Wildlife for river protection
projects.
(2) Approximately
$1 million is being provided by the Swan River Trust to the Department of Water
in 2013–14 for the operation of four oxygenation plants on the Swan and
Canning Rivers. This is approximately a third of the levy revenue that the Swan
River Trust receives.
(3) This part
of the question should be directed to the Minister for Racing and Gaming.
