Question Without Notice No. 973 asked in the Legislative Council on 16 October 2018 by Hon Diane Evers

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

SENSITIVE SITES MAP

973. Hon DIANE EVERS to the Minister for Agriculture and Food:

I refer to the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development's sensitive sites map, which is designed to assist both sensitive agricultural enterprises and nearby landholders to prepare risk assessment and mitigation plans for their activities to ensure that sensitive sites are protected.

(1) Given that the sensitive sites map was last updated in 2016 and registration for the 2017–18 map is now closed, when will the government update the map?

(2) Given the need to support farmers making decisions in real time, will the government improve its data collection and mapping processes to ensure that up-to-date information is available?

Hon ALANNAH MacTIERNAN replied:

(1) The sensitive sites map 2017–18 will be available on the DPIRD website by 30 October 2018.

(2) Commercial enterprises that registered with DPIRD before 30 June 2018 will be listed in the upcoming map to ensure that up-to-date information is available.
