PERTH WATERFRONT PROJECT —
CONTAMINATION TESTING
687. Hon LYNN MacLAREN to the minister representing the
Minister for Planning:
I refer to the minister's response to my question
without notice 538.
(1) With
reference to part (4) of the minister's response, should the test bore
results be tabled in the public interest and in the interests of transparency
and accountability, even if there is no obligation to do this?
(2) If no to (1), why not?
(3) If yes to
(1), will the results of the ongoing contamination testing referred to in part
(7) of the minister's response be tabled?
Hon
HELEN MORTON replied:
I thank the member for some notice of this question.
(1) The detailed
site investigation for contamination document is available on the Metropolitan
Redevelopment Authority website, in accordance with the Environmental
Protection Authority requirements.
(2) Future
testing results will be reviewed by an independent auditor and reported to the
Department of Environment and Conservation to ensure the site remediation
achieves the site clean-up targets defined in the approved site management
plan.
(3) Not applicable.
