I refer to the ‘Putting the Public First’ Economic Audit Committee report of October 2009, and in particular to recommendation 26 which was to, -
‘Optimise Government’s impact on land development through -
(a) the Department of Planning/Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) modelling future land demand throughout the State, taking account of economic and population forecasts;
(b) the Department of Planning/WAPC closely monitoring, analysing and responding to the number of lots that are available for immediate release throughout the State;
(c) the Infrastructure Coordinating Committee facilitating delivery of land through the identification of associated necessary infrastructure by relevant agencies;
(d) the Government considering the necessary amount of government land for release and the investment in infrastructure to enable its release, along with the component required for social housing/lower priced land; and
(e) the Department of Regional Development and Lands overseeing the release of government land, based on the above planning and Government decisions, through competitive tendering processes’,
and I ask -
(1) Which of the following milestones contained in recommendation 26 have been achieved, -
(a) modelling of future land demand and monitoring of lot availability (already underway);
(b) ICC to establish a process for identifying necessary infrastructure associated with future land demand (September 2010); and
(c) submission to Cabinet by Minister for Lands on government land required and for release, and associated infrastructure (March 2011)?
(2) If any of the above milestones contained in recommendation 26 have not been achieved, why not?
(3) In relation to the following milestone, commence release of Government land for development under new arrangements (June 2011), will this be achieved by June 2011?
(4) If no to (3), why not?
