Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 1003 asked in the Legislative Council on 24 November 2010 by Hon Lynn Maclaren

Parliament: 38 Session: 1


POINT PERON — MARINA PROPOSAL


1003. Hon LYNN MacLAREN to the minister representing the Minister for Planning:

I refer to planning proposals to develop a marina at Point Peron.

(1) Who are the opponents of this proposed development?

(2) Is the minister concerned at the evident inequality between the resources of a proponent, Cedar Woods Properties and LandCorp with $4.3 million, and the resources of those who oppose the project, Preserve Point Peron Inc, a community group with less than $1 000 in its bank account but with a huge public following?

(3) Is the minister also concerned about the possible implications for the public perception of the credibility and validity of the community consultation for this project?

Hon ROBYN McSWEENEY replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question.

(1) The member should refer to part (2) of her question, because in that she obviously named the proponent.

(2) No.

(3) There has been, and continues to be, extensive consultation undertaken with the community on this project, both informally and formally through the environmental and planning processes.
