QuestionView source ↗

I make reference to the South Metropolitan and Peel Regional Structure Plan on behalf of the Adam family of Lot 330 Pinjarra Road, Ravenswood; and ask:
(1) Who within the Department for Planning and Infrastructure identified Lot 330 Pinjarra Road, Ravenswood as a potential site for a University?
(2) Who made representation to Mr John Pride of the Department for Planning and Infrastructure, Mandurah that the Adam family were in agreeance and supported the proposal to build a university on their land?
(3) Why wasn’t the Adam family consulted in relation to the proposal?
Will the Minister approve compensation be paid to the Adam family for the cost of preparing a submission, stress and inconvenience?

(1) Lot 330 Pinjarra Road has been identified as part of the structure planning process for the draft South Metropolitan and Peel Regional Structure Plan. Structure plans generally show aspects like housing density targets, arterial transport routes, major open spaces and parkland, major public transport routes and facilities, proposed land uses and proposed schools and community facilities. It is not in itself unusual for land to be identified in a structure plan for future use as a school or university.
(2) The Adam family's agreement or support for the future use of Lot 330 as a university has not been supposed by the WA Planning Commission.
(3) The Adam family have been made aware of the proposed future uses for their district- including the proposed future public use (university) site on their land- as part of the advertising and public consultation process for the draft South Metropolitan and Peel Regional Structure Plan.
Compensation for land required for State purposes becomes a serious consideration once a plan becomes statutory or in force. The draft South Metropolitan and Peel Regional Structure Plan is conceptual at this stage and there remains scope for variation, for example, in response to submissions, such as I understand the Adam family has made.
