KANGAROOS — BALDIVIS

97. Hon ALISON XAMON to the Minister for Environment:

I refer to the government’s revocation of Spatial Property’s fauna management plan for the development of the Paramount Private Estate in Baldivis.

(1)  Has a specific process for the relocation of the kangaroos on the development site been agreed to?

(2)  If yes to (1), please outline what has been agreed.

(3)  If no to (1) —

(a)  when will the new plan be ready; and

(b)  what welfare provisions are in place to ensure that the wellbeing of the kangaroos is maintained until a decision is made?

(4)  What is the current condition of the kangaroos?

(5)  Do the kangaroos have access to a water source?

Hon STEPHEN DAWSON replied:

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

I have noticed what I believe to be an error in the answer, so I will provide an answer to the honourable member tomorrow, if that is okay.
