HAMELIN POOL STROMATOLITES
944. Ms M. BEARD to the Minister for Environment:
I have a supplementary question.
Given that no time commitment has been given to this, will the government
undertake temporary remediation of this significant site as a matter of urgency
until the major works take place?

AnswerView source ↗

I am aware of the issues with the closure of the boardwalk
because people are attracted to the location and are still eager to have a closer look. That indeed causes a risk
to the features of that natural environment, so I am very mindful of the
urgency. As I have just explained to the member, I am hopeful that our
wonderful Treasurer and tourism minister will be able to give me some good news
soon and we will make the announcement accordingly.
The SPEAKER : That concludes question time.
