NORTHERN SUBURBS - GROWTH
My question is to our visionary Minister for Planning and Infrastructure. Several members interjected. Mrs D.J. GUISE : Members, I am just shoring up the northern railway, so bear with me! Can the minister please tell the house how the Carpenter government is planning for the continued northward growth of the Perth metropolitan area and how this expansion will impact on the environment?

I thank the member for the question and her presence today at the launch of this magnificent project. Alkimos is the next big thing in development in the northern suburbs. It is a development of 2 600 hectares, the majority of which is owned by LandCorp, but there are also some private sector partners. It is interesting that the land currently owned by LandCorp was purchased by the Western Australian state government with funds made available from the visionary Whitlam government. That was when we had federal governments that were actually interested in cities. The Whitlam government gave money to the Western Australian government recognising, even 30 years ago, that this state would grow and this city would grow and we would need land. A fantastic development is planned there. It will become a major regional centre linked by rail. More than that, we are ensuring that this centre becomes the leading light in reducing the carbon footprint. We are at a macro and micro level ensuring that the design of this community takes advantage of the very latest in technology and design to deliver a community that is sustainable. We know that we cannot continue to use resources in the way that we are; we cannot continue to be emitting carbon at the rate we are. This development will be a crucial way for us to demonstrate how urban development can be done into the twenty-first century. It will be a great development and we expect to have the first lots on the land in 2009.
