Parliament: 38 Session: 1

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.
