SHARK-PROOF
ENCLOSURES — WESTERN AUSTRALIAN BEACHES
1008. Hon LYNN MacLAREN to the Leader of
the House representing the Premier:
I refer to plans to install shark-proof enclosures off Old
Dunsborough and Coogee beaches.
(1) Has the
government resolved the question of which department is responsible for
granting approval for the installation of such enclosures in the water off
Western Australian beaches?
(2) If yes to (1), what is the responsible department?
(3) If no to (1), what is the reason
for the continued uncertainty?
(4) Does the
Premier expect that the proposed enclosure at Old Dunsborough Beach will be
operational by this Christmas?
(5) If no to (4), when does the
Premier expect it will be ready?
Hon PETER COLLIER
replied:
I thank the honourable member for some notice of this
question.
I do not have a response, but I understand that the Premier
was not available today.
