I thank the member for some notice of this question. I have just been given this answer to the member’s question, along with an answer to a question by Hon Peter Foss, during question time. (1) Due consideration was given to a number of factors including environmental issues, defence activities and other matters before arriving at the preferred alignment. There was already a surveyed road reserve in that area in which the preferred alignment is now located. This reserve also coincides with the perimeter of the defence buffer for the defence impact area. Over a period of years, negotiations have resulted in the Department of Defence agreeing to an alignment through defence land and through the removal of associated unexploded ordinances. (2) Negotiations have progressed under the Defence-Western Australian Government standing consultative arrangements. (3) An extract of the minutes from 8 October 1998 of the meeting of the consultative arrangements committee relating to the Lancelin defence training area is tabled for the information of the member. [See paper No 1458.]
