I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) No land is reserved in the metropolitan region scheme under parks and recreation for conservation at Stakehill. The minister is aware that the wetlands are identified for their conservation value in System 6 of the 1992 Swan coastal plain lakes environmental protection policy and Bush Forever. (2) The wetlands identified for their conservation value are not the same land identified for acquisition for the south west metropolitan railway. (3) Not applicable. (4) The Western Australian Planning Commission has purchased land at Stakehill principally for the purposes of the south west metropolitan railway and for the widening of Eighty Road and Stakehill Road, both of which are reserved in the metropolitan region scheme. The properties purchased to date and those recently compulsorily acquired for the south west metropolitan railway have not involved businesses. Properties have been purchased on the basis of fair market value that disregards any and all reservations but otherwise considers all other potentials and limitations. When any business is affected by compulsory acquisition, extinguishment, relocation and re-establishment are matters that may be claimed as a head of compensation by the affected landowner and his or her tenant if the property is leased.
