AnswerView source ↗
I thank Hon Dee Margetts for some notice of the question. (1) There are no formal arrangements in place. The state government departments and the local shires receive advice from the Department of Defence regarding the use of the area for live firings and exercise. The permissive occupancy area covers approximately 12 500 hectares. This area was previously the subject of regulation 49 of the Defence Force Regulations of the Defence Act. (2) The nature of the arrangement is ongoing subject to the public environmental review consultation and evaluation process that has recently been undertaken in that area. (3) The Department of Defence provides notice to the State and other relevant authorities regarding the times that it requests that area to be available to defence for live firing. The advice is also posted in the public notices of the local newspapers. Public consultation has been undertaken in the recent PER process on the issue. (4) The Department of Defence consults with relevant state government and local government authorities. (5) Views express by the various parties during the recent PER process are still being considered by the Western Australian Environmental Protection Authority and by the Department of Defence. Defence has highlighted its intention to examine alternative sites and has indicated that it will consult with the State in the examination of alternatives.
