Long Title |
The purpose of this Bill is to complete giving effect to the 1998 Ministerial Review on the Western Australian Land Authority Act 1992 and also the 2001 Machinery of Government Reforms, by providing for its increased land development mandate and the further commercialisation of the Authority. The main amendments are as follows -
to clarify, and widen the objects, and therefore the functions and powers, of the Authority, to include urban renewal and remediation of contaminated sites; to enshrine the requirement for the Authority to have regard to the triple bottom line concepts of social, economic and environmental outcomes in carrying out its operations; to transform the Authority to a statutory body; and
to require the Authority to carry out its functions and operations in a manner that is comparable to a corporation under the Corporations Act 2001. |
