On 15 March 2007, the Department of Environment and Conservation—DEC—issued a prevention notice under section 73 of the Environmental Protection Act prohibiting the export of lead carbonate from the Esperance port.

    Extract from Hansard [COUNCIL - Tuesday, 11 November 2008] p37c-41a Hon Norman Moore; President; Hon Ken Travers; Hon Ed Dermer; Hon Giz Watson PUBLIC TRANSPORT — NORTHERN SUBURBS Standing Orders Suspension — Motion On motion without notice by Hon Norman Moore (Leader of the House), resolved with an absolute majority — That the standing orders be suspended so far as to enable an urgency motion to be moved. Urgency Motion THE PRESIDENT (Hon Nick Griffiths): I have received the following letter — Dear Mr President I hereby give notice that pursuant to Standing Order 72 I intend to move; That this House as a matter of urgency, expresses its grave concern that the new State Government does not understand the public transport needs in northern suburbs and in particular the growing congestion that will occur on north-south roads if projects like the Butler train station are not commenced immediately. Yours sincerely Hon Ken Travers MLC Member for the North Metropolitan Region The member will require the support of four members in order to move the motion. [At least four members rose in their places.] HON KEN TRAVERS (North Metropolitan) [4.32 pm]: I move the motion. I commence my remarks by making it very clear that the extension of the northern suburbs railway line to Butler is an important and integral piece of transport infrastructure in the northern suburbs of Perth. The failure to build that piece of infrastructure as a matter of priority will create parking chaos at existing railway stations along the northern suburbs line. It will create chaos and massive congestion on Mitchell Freeway, Wanneroo Road and Marmion Avenue, and it will also have significant implications for Main Roads and the way it manages traffic on Mitchell Freeway in the future.
