Industrial land—Development
1045. Hon Neil Thomson to
the parliamentary secretary representing the
Minister for Planning and Lands:
I refer to page 51
of DevelopmentWA's annual report that states the government did not achieve its
key performance indicator "sufficient developed lots available and/or next
stage ready", which applies to industrial estates.
(1) Why has the minister failed to progress
sufficient industrial land?
(2) Can the minister provide a list of the estates
in which the minister failed to provide sufficient industrial land?
(3) Noting the dire need for the expansion of
regional centres such as Newman and Port Hedland, what progress has been made
in those centres to develop new industrial land?

I thank the member
for some notice of the question. I provide the following on behalf of the
Minister for Planning and Lands.
(1)–(3) WA's strong economy means that
demand for industrial land, both strategic and general, remains high. The Cook
Labor government has doubled the Strategic Industries Fund to $1 billion and is
investing a further $414 million through DevelopmentWA's Industrial Lands
Authority to continue to unlock industrial land.
