I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. The following answer is provided on behalf of the
Minister for Environment for the financial year until 30 September 2022.
(1) Nil. There
has been no invoicing under part IV cost recovery in recent months because in
response to the unprecedented number of environmental assessments needed to
facilitate the state's booming economic growth and the staffing
challenges faced across the public and private sectors, the Department of Water
and Environmental Regulation has prioritised delivery of environmental
assessments over invoicing for cost recovery. No revenue will be forgone by the
government as a result of these delays. As a result of a recent recruitment
process, the department expects to resume its cost recovery invoicing soon.
(2) It is $1 228 800.
