Smiths Beach—Development proposal
196. Hon Neil Thomson to the Leader of the House
representing the Minister for Planning and Lands:
I refer to the
ongoing consideration of the development proposal at Smiths Beach, noting that the
development requires the creation of a seawall on crown land in the foreshore
reserve.
(1) Will the state be required to be a party to
the development application prior to its approval?
(2) If yes, when will the government initiate its
application?
(3) Has the minister or the state made any
representations to the Environmental Protection Authority on the matter and, if
yes, what are they?
(4) Has the government received any advice on when
the environmental assessment is likely to be completed?
