Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 1347 asked in the Legislative Council on 25 November 2020 by Hon Diane Evers

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

GREENPATCH DEVELOPMENT — WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT — DALYELLUP

1347. Hon DIANE EVERS to the Minister for Environment:

I refer to the site management plan for the decommissioned Dalyellup waste residue disposal facility, tabled paper 4615.

(1) Has the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation received annual environmental reports for 2018, 2019 and 2020 as required by the plan?

(2) If no to (1), when is it expected to receive them?

(3) If yes to (1), will the minister please table a copy of each—electronic only is preferred?

(4) Will the minister please table a copy of Tronox's final closure plan for the Dalyellup waste residue disposal facility, version 3, July 2018; and, if not, why not?

Hon STEPHEN DAWSON replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. I note that in the question that was lodged, it says ''electronic only is fine'' not ''electronic only is preferred'', so there is that difference.

(1) The Department of Water and Environmental Regulation has received the 2019 and 2018 annual environmental reports.

(2) The 2020 annual environmental report has not been received, as it is not due to be submitted to DWER until June 2021.

(3) I table the 2019 and 2018 annual environmental reports.

(4) DWER has advised that Tronox is currently updating the final closure plan for the Dalyellup waste residue disposal facility as a result of a review from the department. I table version 3 of the plan, which is currently being revised.
