With regard to the August 2011 announcement of new tenure arrangements extending across 862,000 hectares in the Mt Manning area of the Great Western Woodlands, I ask -
(1) Is the map released by the Ministers at the time of the announcement (and available on my website at www.robinchapple.com.au/qdata ''Helena-Aurora Mt Manning Reserves map proposed tenure change DMP version'') still accurate in describing the Government's intentions regarding new areas to be designated conservation reserves or areas to be excised from existing conservation reserves?
(2) If there have been any changes, will the Minister table an updated map showing all such changes?
(3) If no to (2), why not?
(4) Which, if any of the announced new conservation reserves under the
Conservation and Land Management Act 1984
(CALM Act) have been gazetted?
(5) Which, if any of the areas proposed to be vested in the Minister for Mines and Petroleum have been gazetted?
(6) Which, if any areas proposed to be excised from the Mt Manning Nature Reserve have been excised?
(7) Has any mining company applied for a mining lease in any of the areas designated by the Minister to become 'CALM Act, section 5(1)(h) Conservation and Mining Reserve'?
(8) If yes to (7), which company or companies and when were the applications made?
(9) Has any mining company submitted plans for mining projects in any of the areas designated to become 'CALM Act, section 5(1)(h) Conservation and Mining Reserve'?
(10) If yes to (9), which company or companies and when were the plans submitted?
(11) Which companies currently have mining tenements within the 862,000 hectare Mt Manning area, as defined by the maps produced by the Department of Environment and Conservation and the Department of Mines and Petroleum, at the time of the announcement?
