AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. I am advised - (1) 11 November 2004. (2) The member for Willagee is aware of the long-term proposals for improvement of this intersection. (3) (a) Nil. The planning control area covers the possibility of future options for the Leach Highway and Stock Road intersection. Grade separation of the Leach Highway-Stock Road intersection was developed under the previous Government in 1997 and given general support by the City of Melville in October 1998. Hon Simon O’Brien: That is not what you are proposing, though. Hon KEN TRAVERS: Oh! Hon Graham Giffard: They didn’t tell the punters that, did they? Hon KEN TRAVERS: Yes; I found it fascinating when I read that. The answer continues - (b) Under section 36A of the Metropolitan Region Town Planning Scheme Act, the declaration of a planning control area entitles the affected landowner to claim compensation for injurious affection as if the land were reserved in the metropolitan region scheme. (4) The planning control area will not affect access to Stock Road.
