AnswerView source ↗
I can answer parts (1) and (2) of the question. Unfortunately, I do not have answers to parts (3),(4) or (5). I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) The actual setback of the Geraldton southern transport corridor from the ocean varies along its length. At its closest point - in the vicinity of Greys Beach - the setback is approximately 90 metres from the ocean-facing foredune. (2) Community consultation has been extensive. It commenced in 1998. I will table the attached summary which provides details of the consultation undertaken. Notes of the meetings are not available on short notice, but can be provided to the honourable member if required. I will certainly chase up the other three parts of the question. [See paper No 2462.]
