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.
