I thank the member for some notice of this question. In view of the time, I ask that the answer be tabled and seek leave for it to be incorporated into Hansard . Leave granted. [See paper 1403.] The following material was incorporated - I thank the Hon. Member for some notice of this question. · The Department for Planning and Infrastructure (DPI), the Department of Conservation and Land Management and the Shire of Ashburton were asked to identify suitable Landbank sites. Those stakeholders explored a number of sites. It is unknown how many individual sites were explored by those stakeholders. · Two sites were identified within the Tom Price townsite. The Landbank site which is currently being progressed is behind Windawarri Lodge (formerly Karijini Lodge). The second location was within the Tom Price townsite on North Road off Central Road, 1 kilometre west of the current site. · The tourism development site has been chosen for a number of reasons. The site is close to town and has excellent views across the town of Tom Price to Mount Nameless. The site has access to road, water and sewerage. The site will be attractive to both leisure travellers and also corporate travellers - the corporate traveller is required to sustain the development during the off-peak tourism season. The site is walking-distance to town. The land has been allocated specifically for tourism accommodation development. · No. · The reason this has not been considered is because other accommodation options are currently being development within Karijini National Park and the current Karijini National Park Management Plan does not allow for a resort style of development within the Park boundaries. · This information is unavailable at short notice but will be provided to the member when it comes available. · All within 140 kilometres.
