(1) Has the
detailed traffic impact assessment required by the Department of Transport,
referred to on page 7 of the report, been completed?
(2) If yes to
(1), when will it be made available to the public and will there be an
opportunity for comment?
(3) Has a coastal
hazard risk management and adaptation plan for the proposal been submitted to
the Western Australian Planning Commission?
(4) When will the
public have an opportunity to be consulted on the coastal hazard risk
management and adaptation plan?
(5) If the public
will not have an opportunity to be consulted about the coastal hazard risk
management and adaptation plan before it is finalised, and given section 4.6 of
the ''State Coastal Planning Policy Guidelines'' on community
consultation and engagement, why not?
