JAMES PRICE POINT — WOODSIDE PROGRAM OF WORKS
I refer to the Woodside program of works at James Price Point. (1) Does Woodside require permission under the Land Administration Act 1997 to undertake its current program of work at James Price Point; and, if so, what section of the act applies? (2) Is Woodside the occupier or owner of the unallocated crown land where it is conducting its program of works at James Price Point; and, if so, which title applies and under whose authority was the title bestowed? (3) Is there a requirement for Woodside to consult with the traditional owners and seek their consent prior to undertaking any work at James Price Point; and, if so, has the government ensured that this has happened? (4) Which departments have provided approval for the Woodside program of works at James Price Point and under what acts has approval been granted? (5) Have licences to take water been issued to Woodside for its program of works at James Price Point; and, if so is Woodside considered an owner or occupier under the Rights in Water and Irrigation Act? Hon NORMAN MOORE
