Question Without Notice No. 893 asked in the Legislative Council on 21 August 2019 by Hon Diane Evers

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

LAKE MULLOCULLUP — RECREATIONAL USE

893. Hon DIANE EVERS to the minister representing the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs:

I refer to Lake Mullocullup and the Minister for Transport's response to my question without notice 229 in March 2019.

(1) Has the minister provided consent for access and/or signage pursuant to either the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 or Aboriginal Heritage Regulations; and, if yes, what specific consent was provided and when, and were any conditions placed on access to the area?

(2) If yes to (1), did the minister seek recommendations from the Aboriginal Cultural Material Committee in his decision; and, if yes, what was the ACMC's recommendations; and, if no, why not?

(3) If no to (1), is the minister aware that signage has been erected. If not, will the minister please follow up with the Minister for Transport to ensure that approval of the ACMC is required?

Hon STEPHEN DAWSON replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.

(l) No.

(2) Not applicable.

(3) The minister is not aware of any signage being erected. The Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage will make contact with the City of Albany regarding any signage. If the signage is not impacting on the Aboriginal site, approval under the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 is not required.
