I thank the member for some notice of this question.
(1) Yes. The
Western Australian Planning Commission has already paid compensation to the
landowner for injurious affection. The WAPC remains willing to continue
purchase negotiations for the properties.
(2) The minister has requested that the WAPC give this matter
priority in its acquisition programs.
(3) Lots 67
and 69 are currently privately owned and the minister is not able to force a
landowner to fence or patrol their property to prevent illegal access.
(4) The minister has no available powers to control illegal
rubbish dumping on private land.
