QuestionView source ↗

(1) Is the stock route through the Munda and Boodarie pastoral leases still legally gazetted?
(2) Is this stock route still open to the public as an access route?
(3) Will the Minister table a detailed map of the route taken by this stock route as it traverses the Munda and Boodarie pastoral leases so that the community of Port Hedland and the wider Pilbara community can ascertain whether they can currently travel along this stock route by right to access coastal recreation and fishing?
