I refer to the Rottnest Island Management Plan 2009-2014, and in particular initiative 10, ‘Provide a Range of Visitor Accommodation - Camping Ground’, and I ask -
(1) Will the Minister guarantee the public that there will be a public camping ground on the island?
(2) Will a concept model be put out for public comment?
(3) What locations are being considered for a camping ground?
(4) Will the Minister undertake to fund the provision of a camping ground from the Department’s budget?

(1) Yes.
(2) Yes as per development assessment process.
(3) South Thomson Bay.
(4) A public camping ground exists on Rottnest Island at present. A new camping ground is not factored within the Rottnest Island Authority's forward budget estimates and as noted in the Rottnest Island Management Plan 2009-14, requires a public or private partnership.
