This question was asked on 15 August.
I refer to my question without notice 763 of 8 August 2023.

budgetary allocation has DevelopmentWA apportioned for the acquisition or
leasing of industrial land in Collie for the financial years 2023–24,
2024–25, 2025–26 and 2026–27?
(2) What area or
volume of industrial land in Collie is DevelopmentWA seeking to acquire or
lease in the financial years 2023–24, 2024–25, 2025–26
and 2026–27?
(3) What is the
projected time frame from the point of freehold acquisition of industrial land

I thank the member for some notice
of the question. The following response has been provided by the Minister for
Lands. I note this answer was correct as of Tuesday, 15 August.
(1) An amount of $12 million is
allocated from 2023–24.
(2)–(3) DevelopmentWA
is seeking to acquire industrial land in the Collie region over the next two
years. The amount of land to be acquired and the delivery time frame are
subject to numerous factors, including the existing zoning and servicing
capacity of the land, when the land can be secured and the identified needs of
any future proponents.
