“SWAN CANNING RIVER PROTECTION STRATEGY” — ACTIVITY NODES

677. Hon ALISON XAMON to the Minister for Environment:

I refer to the “Swan Canning River Protection Strategy”, specifically the proposed 19 activity nodes in the river park.

(1) Have these activity nodes been identified?

(2) If yes to (1), can the minister please table a list of the nodes, including their location and the types of activities anticipated at each node?

(3) If no to (1), when does the minister anticipate that these nodes will be identified?

Hon STEPHEN DAWSON replied:

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

(1)  The “Swan Canning River Protection Strategy” does not propose to identify 19 activity nodes. Action 18.1 relates to the identification of appropriate nodes for commercial opportunities in the Swan Canning Riverpark. The locations of these nodes have not yet been identified.

(2)  Not applicable.

(3)  The location of activity nodes will be considered through precinct plans prepared in accordance with state planning policies. These precinct plans will be developed over the life of the river protection strategy. I am pleased to advise that the Perth water precinct planning process has commenced as a priority.
