Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 1248 asked in the Legislative Council on 28 November 2018 by Hon Diane Evers

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

MINING — GINGILUP–JASPER WETLAND SYSTEM

1248. Hon DIANE EVERS to the minister representing the Minister for Mines and Petroleum:

I refer to the mining lease application M70/1385, which covers areas within the Gingilup–Jasper wetland system and the previous mining exploration licence covering part of this site.

(1) What was the name of the company that held a previous exploration licence over part of this site?

(2) What reason was given by that company for not continuing with an application to mine?

(3) Was part of the area under the previous exploration licence originally within D'Entrecasteaux National Park?

(4) Was there ever an agreement, understanding or consideration that if the company did not proceed with an application to mine, any land formerly within D'Entrecasteaux National Park would be reinstated into the park?

(5) If yes to (4), why did this not occur?

Hon ALANNAH MacTIERNAN replied:

I am sorry, member; I have not seen that question and nor do I have a copy of that in my file.
