As the member would be aware, the majority of Crown Land is vested with the Department of Planning and Infrastructure (Unallocated Crown Land and Unmanaged Reserves) and the Department of Conservation and Land Management (National Parks and Conservation reserves). These Departments are outside my ministerial portfolio. The Department of Agriculture has provided contract services to these Departments for the control of declared plants and animals. With respect to the Crown Land vested in departments under my portfolio, the following is provided: (1) Department of Agriculture has control of land through vesting. (2) Department of Agriculture - 19,871 hectares Agriculture Protection Board - 3,401 hectares (3) Where environmental and agricultural pests and weeds occur on land vested in the Department of Agriculture and the APB, appropriate control measures or management plans are implemented to deal with the problem. (4) From time to time both declared and non?declared species occur. Agriculturally important species like skeleton weed, herbicide resistant annual ryegrass, soursob, cape tulip, Australian plague locusts and rabbits have been controlled. Environmentally important species such as feral cats, rabbits, foxes, blackberry and arum lily are also present on some areas. (5) While the cost of any individual activities related to these pests and weeds are not itemised, it is estimated that the cost to deal with the diversity of species has been between $400,000 to $500,000 per annum over the past 5 years. (6) Many of the pests and weeds pose a threat to both agriculture and the environment. Allocation of control costs between agricultural and environmental problems does not usually occur as the collateral benefits of management for one purpose, meet the additional purpose as well. Department of Fisheries: (1) The Abrolhos Islands A-Class Reserve 20253 (2) 1611.328 ha (3) Yes (4) Verbesina encelioides (5) $14,812 for 2003/04 (6) 0% as there is no agricultural activity at the Abrolhos Islands. Forest Products Commission: (1) The only Crown land which is currently controlled by the Forest Products Commission is the Manjimup nursery. (2) The area of the nursery is 162.2 hectares. (3) Yes. Pest and weed control requirements are identified through the Environmental Management System (EMS) (ISO 14001). (4) Blackberry is the primary agricultural or environmental weed species targeted under the program but only results in a small proportion of total expenditure on pest and weed control. The majority of the pest and weed control program at the nursery is of a pre-emptive nature to protect seedlings. It is targeted at weed species, including grasses, which would not be considered significant weeds on adjacent agricultural land, or at a range of insects with potential to damage seedling stock. (5-6) The following expenditure on pest and weed control was made in the last five financial years. Financial records do not provide differentiation between expenditure on agricultural versus environmental pests and weeds. Year 2000/2001 2001/2002 2002/2003 2003/2004 2004/2005 Expenditure $100,878.82 $54,582.05 $77,752.73 $51,967.97 $9,423.50 Mid West Development Commission: (1) - (2)MWDC owns 6704m2 of land at the Batavia Coast Marina, Geraldton (3) No, the land is located in central business district of Geraldton (4) - (6) Not applicable Wheatbelt Development Commission: (1) - (6) WDC does not own or control any land. Great Southern Development Commission: (1) - (6) GSDC does not own or control any land.
