(1) I have not received advice from the Department of Fisheries in relation to the silt plumes likely to be generated as a result of Fremantle Ports’ inner harbour deepening works and associated land reclamation adjacent to Rous Head. (2) In March 2009 the Department of Fisheries provided a written submission to the WA Environmental Protection Authority on the proposed Fremantle Ports’ inner deepening project as part of the formal assessment process under part IV of the Environmental Protection Act 1986. (3) I table the Department of Fisheries’ advice to the EPA in relation to the Fremantle Ports’ inner deepening project. [The paper was tabled for the information of members.]
