I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. The following answer has been provided by the
Minister for Environment.
In the four and a half months that
cost recovery of part IV environmental assessments has been in effect, the
Department of Water and Environmental Regulation has continued to develop a suite
of regulatory efficiencies resulting from recent amendments to the
Environmental Protection Act 1986, the building of Environment Online and other
Streamline WA initiatives. It is expected that the 18-month review of the part
IV cost recovery program in mid-2023 will capture and reflect these
efficiencies appropriately.
