AnswerView source ↗
The minister has provided the following response - (1) Earlier this year I sought advice from a range of stakeholders on functional themes and projects for the application of Cable Sands’ offset funding; the potential to use offset funds to seed larger tuart conservation and management projects; and a strategy for managing the offset funds and the implementation of projects. Advice has been received from the tuart response group, CALM and the Conservation Commission of Western Australia, but expenditure decisions have not yet been finalised. (2) Yes, the Ludlow working party advice will be considered with the advice referred to in the answer to (1). (3) Priorities for the use of the offset funds for tuart conservation initiatives are being considered for whole-of-tuart woodland projects as well as tall tuart woodland and Ludlow-based projects. (4) The Ludlow land is vested in the Conservation Commission of Western Australia and is managed by CALM. It is customary for the department to seek compensation payments or specific offsets for mining on such land. This is determined on a case-by-case basis. (5) There is no requirement for Cable Sands to pay lease money to the department. There is a requirement for Cable Sands to fund the rehabilitation of the area of mining lease 70/86 that is not required for mining and infrastructure. The amount for this rehabilitation has been set at $750 000. (6) Not applicable. (7) See answers to (4) and (5).
