Alcoa—Pre-clearance surveys
173. Hon Jess Beckerling to the Leader of the House
representing the Minister for State Development:
I refer to the
Ramboll Compliance Assessment Report 2025 ,
prepared in accordance with Alcoa's 2024–2028 mining and management program, and
particularly the detailed summary of compliance audit table on page 44 of
appendix B, which states:
Evidence:
· Pre-clearance targeted fauna surveys
(1) Which company or organisation
conducted these pre-clearance targeted fauna surveys?
(2) Are these surveys available in report
form?
(3) If yes to (2), can all 2024 reports
be tabled, please?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the
honourable member for some notice of the question.
The President: Order! If there is some chatting going
on, maybe you could do it outside the chamber rather standing in the aisle.
Sorry to interrupt, minister.
Hon Jackie Jarvis: On behalf of the
Leader of the House, I provide the following response by the
Minister for State Development.
(1)–(3) The Compliance
Assessment Report 2025 does not contain pre-clearance targeted fauna
surveys. Pre-clearance surveys are available on the Environmental Protection
Authority's website on the page "Bauxite mining on the Darling Range in
the southwest of WA for the years 2023 to 2027".
