North Metro Issues

SHENTON PARK REHABILITATION HOSPITAL REDEVELOPMENT SITE — BUSHLAND CLEARING — LEMNOS STREET

HON ALISON XAMON (North Metropolitan) [9.52 pm]: I rise because I need to talk about something to do with the Shenton Park Rehabilitation Hospital site. I have spoken about this issue before. I want to talk about what has happened with the infill development. This site is otherwise known as Montario Quarter. As I said before in this place, I recognise that infill is needed, but we must be looking at good infill. Particularly on the Swan coastal plain, we really need to be looking at green infill that will prioritise and protect our natural assets.

60. Hon ALISON XAMON to the minister representing the Minister for Planning:

I refer to the answer to my question without notice 10 asked on 13 March, in which it was stated that a subdivision application for the Shenton Park Rehabilitation Hospital site is currently under consideration, and the answer to my question without notice 590 from last year, in which it was stated that no further planning activities were required prior to clearing the bushland.

10. Hon ALISON XAMON to the minister representing the Minister for Lands:

I refer to recent reporting in the Subiaco Post regarding the suspension of clearing permit application CPS 7781/1 to clear 1.52 hectares of banksia woodland at Lemnos Street due to outstanding planning processes.

(1)  What planning processes remain outstanding in relation to the Shenton Park Rehabilitation Hospital redevelopment?

(2)  When will these planning processes likely be concluded?
