Gnangara–Moore River state
forest
229. Hon Dr Brad Pettitt to the Minister for the
Environment:
I refer to question
without notice 755 concerning the revegetation of the Gnangara–Moore River
state forest, noting that the answer indicated that Woodside:
… withdrew from stage 3 of the
procurement and the problem and opportunity statement process was terminated.
(1) Does the Western Australian
Government now plan to do its own revegetation of the Gnangara–Moore River
state forest?
(2) If yes to (1), what is the government's
plan and timeline for revegetation?
(3) If no to (1), will the WA Government
open up revegetation of the Gnangara–Moore River state forest to other parties?
(4) If yes to (3), when?
(5) If no to (3), why not?
