(1-8) World Heritage Listing is a process managed by the Commonwealth Government and Western Australian responses are coordinated through the Department of the Premier and Cabinet. The Minister for Environment and the Department of Environment and Conservation is the lead agency with regard to World Heritage Listing.
Following discussions with the Department of the Premier and Cabinet it is considered appropriate that these questions are directed to the Minister for Environment.
