QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the Regional Open Space Plan by the Environmental Protection Authority in Australind, and ask -
(1) Is the Minister aware that the stakeholders of Lot 28 Clifton Close, Australind, purchased the land in 1978 with a view to develop the land, and have outlaid considerable resources that are now being jeopardised due to the Government’s stealth like tactics that are undermining the Australian ideal of freehold land?
(2) Why aren’t the stakeholders of Lot 28 Clifton Close, Australind, given specific information relating to the determination of their land?
(3) Is the Minister aware that the uncertainty created by the lack of detailed information (including a specific time-line for the finalisation of the Regional Open Space Plan) impinges on the future planning of Lot 28 Clifton Close, Australind?
(4) If yes to (3), please detail what specific action you will undertake to clarify the situation so that the stakeholders of Lot 28 Clifton Close, Australind, can have security and certainty over their freehold land?
(5) If no to (3), please provide a summary of what will happen to Lot 28 Clifton Close, Australind, (and when) under the Regional Open Space Plan to provide certainty and security to the stakeholders of Lot 28 Clifton Close, Australind?
