MANDURAH
JUNCTION — DEVELOPMENT
983. Hon SALLY TALBOT to the parliamentary secretary
representing the Minister for Lands:
I refer to the
development at Mandurah Junction.
(1) The
project conditions specify that 2.04 hectares of public open space must be
retained as natural bushland in perpetuity, specifying that natural bushland ''must
have a tree canopy, an understorey and ground cover of native vegetation''.
Can the minister guarantee that this 2.04 hectares has been retained in
accordance with these conditions, and provide exact details—that is, a
map or boundary description—of where the public open space area is?
(2) Has the
topsoil at this development been removed; and, if so, how much topsoil was
removed, where is the topsoil now, and what will the topsoil be used for; that
is, where will it end up?
(3) Why was
reserve 33508 included inside the area that was fenced off by temporary
fencing?
(4) Which areas
were fenced off to comply with condition 4(d) to ensure that areas that must
not be cleared were retained?

I note that the question is not dated, so I am not quite sure
how long it has been in the file, but the answer is relevant to whatever date
it was put in the file. I thank the honourable member for some notice of this
question. The Minister for Lands has provided the following response —
(1) An area of
2.04 hectares is approved public open space in accordance with the subdivision
plans approved by the Western Australian Planning Commission.
(2) The
topsoil is pushed back, stockpiled and respread over the site at completion of
works.
(3) Reserve 33508
was included within the temporary fencing for site safety and security.
(4) The entire
site was fenced off and the contractor made responsible to ensure that areas
identified to be retained were retained.
