RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT CODE

In reply to the Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (27 November 2008).

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Small Business): The West Australian company, Mills Wilson Communications, was contracted to assist with the launch of the published report of the Planning Review and the draft Residential Development Code. The outcome of further discussions in June 2008 was that it was decided to complete the contract as agreed, and not extend its scope. Mills Wilson Communications has not been engaged to assist with publicity of the next stage of the Planning reforms, which includes the proposed Residential Development Code.
