I thank the member for some notice of this question. The employment protection arm of the Department of Consumer and Employment Protection advises the following - (1) The Stakehill Road sandpit is situated within reserve 37090. The management order for this reserve is for explosives and forestry purposes, and is held by the Minister for Employment Protection and the Executive Director of the Department of Environment and Conservation. However, the sandpit is operated by the Southern Gateway Alliance under the general direction of Main Roads Western Australia. (2) Responsibility for safety in Southern Gateway Alliance operations lies with that organisation.
