(1) No. The Environmental Protection Authority's recommended condition requiring the replacement of the M91 reserve was not set as part of the then Minister for the Environments' statement of conditions for the Jervoise Bay Harbour Proposal. As a result, the requirement to compensate for the loss of Reserve M91 is not legally binding on the proponent for the Jervoise Bay Harbour Project.
