ALCOA - SUPPLEMENTARY PROPERTY PURCHASE PROGRAM
I refer to question without notice 59 regarding Alcoa’s proposed supplementary property purchase program. (1) Will the minister explain the discrepancy between his reply, which says the terms of reference for the SPPP have been publicly available since the opening of the Yarloop SPPP administration office on 4 October 2006, and claims by the administrator of that office that he cannot make the terms of reference available to the public until they have been tabled in Parliament? (2) If no to (1), why not? (3) When will the terms of reference be tabled in Parliament? (4) Why has there been a delay in the tabling of the terms of reference? (5) What steps will the government take to permit landowners sufficient time to resolve any issues that may arise once they have seen the terms of reference? Hon KATE DOUST

AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) In my answer to the honourable member’s earlier question on this matter, which is to question without notice 59, I construed the use of the term “terms of reference” to refer to the “guidelines” under which the supplementary property purchase program is being administered. These guidelines have been publicly available from the SPPP administrator since October 2006. The deed of undertaking between Alcoa and the state, which includes full details of the SPPP, has recently been executed by both parties and is expected to be publicly available. There are no “terms of reference” in schedule 3 of the deed, which does not need to be tabled in Parliament. (2)-(4) See (1). (5) The government considers the details of the SPPP in the deed accurately reflect the guidelines that have been applied since the commencement of the SPPP in October 2006. Landowners in eligible localities have been clearly advised that registration to participate in the SPPP closes on 3 April 2007. Following receipt of a valuation report, an owner will need to decide by 30 June 2007 whether to sell a property to Alcoa at the valuation amount. An owner opting to pursue the farm business continuation option will have six months from receipt of a valuation to make a decision to sell to Alcoa.
