QuestionView source ↗
Stakeholders affected by the Hope Valley-Wattleup redevelopment project desire access to the Garland International Pty Ltd report commissioned by LandCorp. Decisions were made by the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure and LandCorp - the Western Australian Land Authority - to refuse access. In her decision, the Western Australian planning commissioner set aside the decision to refuse access. The commissioner exempted certain documents and required that some personal information be deleted before access would be granted. Will the minister provide the Parliament with the Garland International report, exempting documents 20 and 21 and after the deletion of personal information described in paragraph 47 of the commissioner’s decision? Hon KEN TRAVERS

I thank the member for some notice of this question. On behalf of the parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure, I provide the following answer - The Western Australian commissioner’s decision was to release the Garland International report only to the freedom of information applicant, Separovich Nominees Pty Ltd. The Garland International report contains private information relating to the businesses and decisions made by the relevant owners and operators. Separovich Nominees Pty Ltd had previously obtained written consent from other business owners and operators to have access to their private business information contained in the report. In order to allow time to determine whether it is now appropriate to release the report more broadly, the minister requires that the question be put on notice.
