QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the Cockburn Coastal Vision consultation process -
(1) Why does the Vision for Cockburn Coast survey only refer to the land between the power station and the former Robb’s Jetty site, and not the land either side, namely Port Coogee and South Beach - both contentious unresolved issues within the community?
(2) Is the Minister or the Department neglecting to hear the community’s opinion on the whole stretch of the Cockburn coast?
(3) Why did the questionnaire not invite comment on the types of use the community would like at the beach? (For example, dog beach, wind surfing, fishing etc.)
(4) Why was there only one question (regarding only one specific area) in the whole questionnaire referring to maintaining the natural vegetation of the area?
(5) Why was it not asked what form of transport people would most likely use to get to the area (drive, walk, public transport etc.), in order to determine what facilities would be required?
(6) Does the Minister agree that the scope of this questionnaire is quite limited?
(7) Does this questionnaire comply with the requirements set out for public interest by the SPP 2.6 of the Coastal Planning Strategy?

2. No. The overall view of the coast is being addressed through the Perth Coastal Planning Strategy. 3-6. There are only a limited number of questions that can be asked in a survey without it becoming onerous. The survey generally seeks input on broad planning issues and is designed to gain views on strategic issues of future development in the area. All areas of significance in the survey results will be discussed on the Dialogue day. 7. Yes
