I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. The following answer has been provided to me by the
Minister for Environment.
(1) The proposed
south coast marine park affects the Wagyl Kaip Southern Noongar, Esperance
Tjaltjraak, Ngadju and Mirning traditional owners.
(2) The
Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions is actively consulting
with all traditional owner groups.
(3) Amendments to
the Conservation and Land Management Act to enable the joint vesting of marine
parks are currently before Parliament. The potential joint vesting of any
marine parks on the south coast will be considered separately with each native
title party, as was the case in the Buccaneer Archipelago.
