QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the 1999 recommendation of the maritime division of the Department of Transport for a public boat ramp at Rous Head. (1) Have conceptual plans for a public boat ramp at Rous Head been drawn up? (2) If yes, will the minister make these plans available for public comment; and, if so, when? (3) Given that it is now five years since the recommendation was made, when is construction of this boat ramp likely to commence? (4) Which other sites along the coast have been identified to meet the current and future needs of metropolitan boat owners? Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN
AnswerView source ↗
(1)-(4) I would have been in a much better position to answer that question had I had some notice of it. It is a bit unreasonable to expect that I would have the detail that the member seeks at my fingertips. The proposals that I have seen to date involve a cost of some $10 million. Quite frankly, this is a matter that we will have to look at in terms of all our other priorities. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: I call the member for Moore to order for the first time. Several members interjected. Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: I can smell a rotting fish! Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: I call to order the members for Dawesville and Collie, and the member for Moore for the second time. Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: As I was saying, that proposal would cost in the order of $10 million. Therefore, quite clearly, it must be considered by government in terms of the priority of all other pieces of infrastructure that we may want to develop for the public. In particular, we have been developing boating facilities up and down the coast. Mr Speaker, you would know that in your electorate, which has the highest rate of boat ownership, a number of facilities have been completed. We make no bones about the fact that we want to make sure that these facilities are spread around the entire State and are not focused in just one area. In particular, we have put money towards the development of a facility at Kwinana. We have a proposal coming on board for Rockingham. If the Leader of the Opposition does not keep flip-flopping on his position, no doubt the Port Coogee proposal will become a reality, and we will have a boating facility at Woodman Point. We have been putting in boating facilities across the length and breadth of the State, and we will continue to do that. Whether we believe the expenditure of $10 million at Rous Head at this time is justified is under consideration.

Mr Speaker, you would know that in your electorate, which has the highest rate of boat ownership, a number of facilities have been completed. We make no bones about the fact that we want to make sure that these facilities are spread around the entire State and are not focused in just one area. In particular, we have put money towards the development of a facility at Kwinana. We have a proposal coming on board for Rockingham. If the Leader of the Opposition does not keep flip-flopping on his position, no doubt the Port Coogee proposal will become a reality, and we will have a boating facility at Woodman Point. We have been putting in boating facilities across the length and breadth of the State, and we will continue to do that. Whether we believe the expenditure of $10 million at Rous Head at this time is justified is under consideration.
(1)-(4) I would have been in a much better position to answer that question had I had some notice of it. It is a bit unreasonable to expect that I would have the detail that the member seeks at my fingertips. The proposals that I have seen to date involve a cost of some $10 million. Quite frankly, this is a matter that we will have to look at in terms of all our other priorities. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: I call the member for Moore to order for the first time. Several members interjected. Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: I can smell a rotting fish! Several members interjected. The SPEAKER: I call to order the members for Dawesville and Collie, and the member for Moore for the second time. Ms A.J. MacTIERNAN: As I was saying, that proposal would cost in the order of $10 million. Therefore, quite clearly, it must be considered by government in terms of the priority of all other pieces of infrastructure that we may want to develop for the public. In particular, we have been developing boating facilities up and down the coast.
