I thank the member for some notice of this question. Tourism WA is not an infrastructure agency. The Augusta Margaret River Tourism Association’s chairman, Mr Cliff Edwards, sought and was given a letter of support and encouragement. Tourism WA continues to work with relevant government agencies to facilitate the development of infrastructure that is required for tourism development. Tourism WA recognises that the Leeuwin-Naturaliste Ridge features one of the world’s most extensive and beautiful limestone cave systems. Accordingly, the redevelopment of Jewel Cave has been highlighted as a strategic project to improve the iconic attraction of the caves in the area.
