ENVIRONMENT —
CONTAMINATION — LOT 101, PLAN 55271, PEMBERTON
665. Hon SOPHIA MOERMOND to the parliamentary secretary
representing the Minister for Environment:
I refer to the contaminated site
known as lot 101 on plan 55271 in Pemberton, which has a classification of ''contaminated—remediation
required''. Restrictions on the use of the site state ''as the
site is not currently suitable for occupation or use, the site should remain
vacant and fenced until further remediation has been undertaken''.
(1) What is the current management plan for this site,
and does this include provisions for fencing maintenance and weed and
invasive species management; and, if so, how often has that occurred since
2013?
(2) Has there
been ongoing testing of the groundwater bores located along the common boundary
of the contaminated site and adjoining property; and, if so, what were the
results?
(3) Has there
been ongoing soil testing along the common boundary shared with the adjoining
property; and, if so, what were the results?

This question requires
significantly more time than we have for questions without notice with some
notice given, so I ask that the member place the question on notice.
