(1) - (7) The Infrastructure Coordinating Committee was established under the Western Australian Planning Commission Act 1995. It has a wide ranging role in the coordination of infrastructure across the State. The Committee has prepared development programs for the Perth Metropolitan area and major regional towns and has considered a wide range of reports on industrial land, regional mineral province studies and specific infrastructure such as schools, water supply and sewerage. The Committee works closely with all major Government infrastructure suppliers and local government authorities. Given the nature and extent of your questions, I will arrange for you to be briefed by a senior officer of the Ministry for Planning and a representative of the Western Australian Planning Commission.
