❓ Mr Hort questions the classification of a 15-week nightly commercial event at Jorgensen Park under the Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations 1997, specifically regarding its assessment as a temporary event versus a recurring venue and associated community consultation requirements.

I refer to the recently announced Commercial Lease of Jorgensen Park in the City of Kalamunda:(a) Will the Minister advise whether a 15-week, nightly commercial event constitutes a “temporary event” for the purposes of the Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations 1997, or whether it should be assessed as a recurring venue under Regulation 19B;(b) If yes to (a), will the Minister confirm whether the proposed event at Jorgensen Park has been, or is required to be, assessed under Regulation 19B, which includes mandatory community consultation requirements;(c) If the event is assessed under Regulation 18, will the Minister advise how a 15-week recurring nightly event meets the intent of a one-off event approval pathway;(d) Will the Minister confirm whether any Regulation 18 application was lodged at least 60 days prior to the proposed commencement date, as required under the Regulations; and(e) Will the Minister advise whether residents within proximity to Jorgensen Park are entitled to consultation and appeal rights in relation to noise approvals for this event?
