QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the April 2026 Western Trade Coast State Development Area Overview prepared by the Office of the Coordinator General and I ask:
(a) With 1,300ha in Kwinana and 1,200ha in Rockingham, what percentage of this land is currently vacant or underutilised, and what is the target occupancy rate for the next "phase of growth"
;
(b) Given a declaration doesn’t change existing tenure how will the State Development Area (SDA) Plan provide the promised "development certainty" if it remains a due regard instrument rather than a binding statutory regulation/code
;
(c) Given that major projects in Australia, such as Trafigura’s Port Pirie and BP’s 26 GW Australian Renewable Energy Hub have already been cancelled or exited by lead partners, has the Office of the Coordinator General undertaken detailed technical studies or feasibility studies to justify green hydrogen as a "target industry" for the WTC; and
(d) What specific funding model will the (SDA) Plan establish for the shared infrastructure corridors to ensure production projects at the Rockingham Industry Zone are properly connected to major transport links?
