I thank the honourable member for
some notice of this question.
(1)–(3) Retention,
clearing and disruption of bushland will be determined through the master
planning process.
(4)–(5) The
role of the vegetation corridor and the presence of threatened and endangered
species will be identified during the completion of environmental reports that
will inform the master planning process.
(6) LandCorp has
commenced high-level consultation with the identified key stakeholders—that
is, the City of Nedlands, the City of Subiaco, the Department of Planning, the
Department of Health, the Urban Bushland Council and service providers—and
the surrounding host community with a dedicated website and information line
available to interested parties. LandCorp has commenced preparation of a
detailed engagement strategy to inform the master planning process.
