Considerable notice has been given of this question. On ABC television’s Stateline program on 29 August 2003, it was stated that the Moore River Company Pty Ltd was intending to lodge an application to subdivide 5 000 lots between the coast and the Moore River estuary in the near future. (1) Has a subdivision application from the Moore River Company been received by the WA Planning Commission? (2) What is the minister currently doing to uphold the Government’s pre-election statement on environmental policy to investigate ways of scaling this development back? Hon KEN TRAVERS

I thank the member for some notice of this question. I take the opportunity to point out to members that if they want to give lots of notice of a question, they should put it on notice because then the answer will be accurate at the time it is provided. However, this answer was updated on 14 October, according to a note in the top right-hand corner of the page, although the original notice was given on 18 September. Most answers have work done on them on the day on which they are submitted. This answer was originally provided on 18 September and updated on 14 October. (1) No. (2) The Shire of Gingin’s new town planning scheme and local planning strategy will soon be advertised for public comment. When the minister granted consent to advertise the shire’s draft town planning scheme No 9, she requested the local planning strategy be modified to make it clear the State Government does not necessarily believe the current outline development plan for south Guilderton represents the preferred form of development for the area. The minister will be mindful of the Government’s pre-election commitments when considering the shire’s scheme for final approval.
