Parliamentary Questions


Question On Notice No. 779 asked in the Legislative Council on 25 February 2014 by Hon Lynn Maclaren

Question Directed to the: Minister for Mental Health representing the Minister for Environment
Parliament: 39 Session: 1


Question

(1) For how long, and how frequently, will monitoring of impacts on seagrass communities be undertaken?
(2) Who will undertake this monitoring?
(3) Will the Minister appoint an Appeals Committee to consider and report on disputes surrounding the proposed Mangles Bay Marina?



Answered on 11 March 2014

The Minister for the Environment has provided the following response:

(1)-(3) I determined appeals on 13 February 2014. By section 109 of the Environmental Protection Act 1986, my decision is final and is not subject to appeal. 

I will now consult with relevant decision making authorities as to whether or not there is agreement that the proposal may be implemented, and if so, the conditions to which the proposal should be subject. The Office of the Environmental Protection Authority has advised me that the Ministerial decision making authorities with whom I am required to consult under section 45(1)(a) of the Environmental Protection Act 1986 are the Minister for Water; Minister for Aboriginal Affairs; Minister for Planning; Minister for Lands; and Minister for Transport.

As a final decision on the proposal is yet to be made, and no conditions have been finalised, it is not possible to answer specific questions as to the content of the conditions at this time.
