KUNUNURRA — FORESHORE RESERVE LEASE 41812
I refer the minister to land lease arrangements at foreshore reserve lease 41812, located in Kununurra. (1) What authority does the Department of Water have over land tenure on that reserve? (2) Is it correct that the department will not support the shire’s proposal to offer a long-term lease to current user and boat tour operator Celliston Nominees; and, if so, why not? (3) Did the Department of Water support long-term leases for the three caravan parks located on the foreshore reserve? Hon KIM CHANCE

I thank the Leader of the House for some notice of this question. Hon Norman Moore : It is only a matter of time! Hon KIM CHANCE : Did I say Leader of the House? Hon Norman Moore : Yes. Hon KIM CHANCE : I meant Leader of the Opposition—dream on! (1) Reserve 41812 is jointly vested in the Department of Water and the Shire of Wyndham-East Kimberley. (2) No. The Department of Water will consider all long-term lease proposals, subject to a fair and equitable process applying to any interested party. (3) Yes. The caravan parks are businesses that currently operate and have been doing so for a period in excess of 10 years, prior to the creation of the foreshore reserve. Celliston Nominees, however, was after a short-term lease just to operate its business until a more appropriate site was operational.
