GOLDEN PIPELINE — CONSERVATION
What commitment has the Western Australian state government made to the National Trust of Australia (WA) for the conservation and interpretation of the Golden Pipeline, which has been recognised as being significant to both the state and nation through its inclusion on the National Heritage List last week? Hon ROBYN McSWEENEY

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. The National Trust received initial support for the Golden Pipeline project in 1998 when the board of the Water Corporation approved an offer of $1.3 million to the National Trust to undertake urgent health and safety work—that is, asbestos removal. An additional $6.9 million was allocated by the state government from the proceeds of the sale of AlintaGas. Since that allocation, no additional specific financial support has been provided.
