MANGLES BAY CANAL ESTATE AND MARINA — LANDCORP

95. Hon LYNN MacLAREN to the minister representing the Minister for Lands:

I refer to the proposed Mangles Bay canal estate and marina:

(1) Is there a legally binding agreement to build the marina?

(2) If no to (l), why not?

(3) If yes to (1), please give details.

(4) Has LandCorp conducted or commissioned any research to support the claim on its website that the project will create significant local employment?

(5) If yes to (4), please table this evidence.

Hon COL HOLT replied:

On behalf of the Minister for Lands, I thank the member for some notice of this question.

(1) No.

(2) There are no planning approvals in place to allow the marina to be built at this time.

(3) Not applicable

(4) Yes.

(5) The Mangles Bay economic study forms part of the proposed local structure plan for the Mangles Bay marina–based tourist precinct that was lodged with the City of Rockingham in May 2015. As such it forms part of a statutory process. The protocol is for the city to release the plan as part of its public advertising process expected to occur in early 2016.
