CARNARVON BOAT HARBOUR — MARKET RENTAL VALUATION
I refer to the schedule tabled in response to question without notice 260 on 1 April 2008 headed “Carnarvon Boat Harbour — Market Rental Valuation”, and note that under the Carnarvon town planning scheme use of the land in the Carnarvon harbour precinct is restricted in general terms to marine support and seafood processing uses. Given that the land in the harbour precinct is restricted in its uses, how does the minister justify basing the rental values of this land on land that is zoned light industrial and commercial?

I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. The minister has provided the following answer — Attached to the current town planning scheme is the Carnarvon small boat harbour policy, which outlines the permitted uses for the various areas of the harbour. These include commercial, tourist, recreation, marine support and seafood processing. In accordance with the policy, the land in the Carnarvon boat harbour is typically involved in the fishing, aquaculture, marine-related fabrication and repair maintenance industries. The uses of the sites are primarily commercial and industrial in nature, and this use is the basis of the evaluation.
