RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:40): Have air quality assessments and industrial risks been identified on these existing corridors and reports provided to government?

The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister Assisting the Premier in Public Sector Management) (14:40): That is what I just indicated in the very first part of the answer. Of course assessments are done as part of a rezoning process—that is what you do. You rezone things and that is how you discover if there are issues. That is what you do and you look at and identify things like contaminated land. There are some things you know beforehand, while other things, of course, you find out when you actually start the process and go and have a look. So, in relation to those areas where the government is considering rezoning, obviously that work is done at the appropriate time of the rezoning exercise, as required under the Development Act.
