Further to my question on May 9 2002 in relation to the HMAS ORION, can the Premier confirm -
(1) Is the Minister for Tourism currently working on a community consultation process to determine where the HMAS ORION will go?
(2) When will Expressions of Interest be called for, for groups wishing to nominate a dive site?
(3) It is well known that the proposed West Coast Dive Park, adjacent to the City of Rockingham, includes a range of sites suitable for dive sites. Is the proposed West Coast Dive Park being considered by the Government for the sinking of the HMAS ORION?

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Premier and Chair of the West Coast Dive Park Steering Committee, Mr Mark McGowan MLA is progressing the issues raised in this question. The complexities in sinking a submarine as a dive wreck and issues such as public liability insurance have slowed the process. The information requested will be provided directly to the Hon Barbara Scott when the Expression of Interest process is further advanced and the details requested are able to be confirmed.
