QUINNS ROCKS BEACH — EROSION
790. Mr J.R. QUIGLEY to the Minister for
Transport:
I have a supplementary question. Is
the minister seriously telling the people of Quinns Rocks that only 10 per cent
of the total amount being spent on the Vasse electorate cannot be spent fixing
up the Quinns foreshore, and will the minister come out to Quinns' car
park this Friday morning at 10 o'clock and tell the residents whose
houses are being threatened why he will not fix the erosion problem?

I will check the diary, but I am not
sure I will be able to get there this Friday morning at 10 o'clock. No
doubt in due course we will go out to Quinns Rocks and look at the issue.
Mr
J.R. Quigley : When was the last time you looked at the issue?
Mr
T.R. BUSWELL : Let me remind the member for Butler again. In Esperance, at
Emu Point in Albany, on the coast around Bunbury, at The Cut in Bunbury, in
Jurien Bay, along the length of the state, there are coastal communities
developing plans to combat erosion and related issues. In those communities the
local governments, as they should as first responders, are spending money
protecting coastal assets.
