Parliament: 38 Session: 1

ROTTNEST ISLAND COUNTRY CLUB — UPGRADE

432. Hon LYNN MacLAREN to the minister representing the Minister for Tourism:

I refer to the proposed upgrade of Rottnest Island Country Club and its golf course and the intention to lease the facility to a commercial operator.

(1) Can the minister confirm that a development application will be required for the upgrade after which there will be an appropriate opportunity for public consultation on the project?

(2) If no to (1), why not?

Hon ROBYN McSWEENEY replied:

I thank the member for some notice of the question.

(1) The Rottnest Island Authority will be following its development planning guidelines.

(2) The golf course upgrade is consistent with the ''Rottnest Island Management Plan 2009–2014'', initiative 13, ''Expand Recreational Activities''. The planning for the golf course was developed in consultation with the executive of the Rottnest Island Country Club and is seen as an excellent way of improving visitor numbers to the island in the off-season.
