QuestionView source ↗

I refer to the proposed development at Lot 50 in Exmouth, with the proponents being Exmouth Limestone Pty Ltd (the lessee) and Ezion Holdings, a wholly owned and based Singapore company, the developer and lessor, and I ask -
(1) Is it true that Ezion will begin building a marine supply base in Exmouth within the next two months?
(2) If no to (1), what is the time frame for the commencement of the building of a supply base in Exmouth?
(3) Has Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) approval been granted for the project?
(4) If yes to (3), when was application first made and approval granted?
(5) Has the EPA approval ever been extended for this project?
(6) If yes to (5), -
(a) when; and
(b) for how long?
(7) When was the application made to the EPA to have the approval extended, and who was the applicant?
(8) Has there been a review of the environmental conditions for this project?
(9) If yes to (8), what changes were made to the conditions?
(10) Will the Minister table the revised environment conditions?
(11) If no to (10), why not?
(12) When was Development Approval first granted for the project?
(13) Has Development Approval expired for the project at any time?
(14) If yes to (13), when?
(15) Has an extension of the Development Approval expired for the project at any time?
(16) If yes to (15), when?
(17) Who made application for an extension of Development Approval and if granted, when was it granted and for how long?
(18) Given that the proposed use of the jetty has changed significantly from limestone-rock load out for Exmouth Limestone Pty Ltd to that of a marine supply base, why has there been no further full environmental review of the proposed development?
(19) Who are the traditional custodians of the land, and what consultation has there been between Ezion Holdings and them, on moving the development from a five hectare clearing of land to 18 hectares of land?
(20) Has Ezion Holdings consulted with the traditional custodians on the building of a marine supply base in Exmouth?
(21) If no to (20), why not?
