AnswerView source ↗
I am not surprised the member for Perth had a little difficulty in working out where I sit as Minister for Planning because I think that is the first question for the year. I congratulate the member for Perth for that! Several members interjected. Mr J.H.D. DAY : I have had plenty of questions; it is just that they have not come from the member for Perth. As I am sure the member for Perth is aware, I represent the electorate of Kalamunda—previously Darling Range—and there are no places or electorates where bushfire prevention and management is more important than in the hills of Perth. Therefore, it is an issue that I have a very strong personal and electorate interest in. The Department of Planning is considering the recommendations of the Keelty report — Mr J.N. Hyde : Urgently? Mr J.H.D. DAY : Of course it is doing it urgently; it is doing lots of work urgently at the moment. In fact, there is a lot going on within the Department of Planning, and, indeed, a lot being achieved. If the member for Perth wanted a detailed response on exactly the work that has been done or the decisions that have been made or the actions that have been taken, he should have given some notice of the question. The Department of Planning is considering and assessing the recommendations of the Keelty report. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Member for Girrawheen, I formally call you to order for the third time today. Member for Perth, I suggest you listen to the answer. If you are not content at that point, a supplementary question is always an option. Mr J.H.D. DAY : My understanding is that the government’s response to the report is being coordinated by the Department of the Premier and Cabinet from a whole-of-government approach. The Department of Planning is part of that process and is working with other agencies, such as the Fire and Emergency Services Authority and the Department of Environment and Conservation.
