Mr BROWN to the Minister for Resources Development; Energy; Education: In relation to the Government's election commitment that all Government agencies will develop and publish an affirmative action program (the Regional Access Equity Plan) to improve delivery of services to regional Western Australia will the Minister table the Regional Access Plans that have been published by agencies for which they are responsible? Mr BARNETT replied: On July 7, 1999 a draft Regional Development Policy for Western Australia was released for public comment. The draft policy includes strategies to ensure equitable access to an appropriate range and mix of services across the regions. The draft policy will require government agencies to include as part of their reporting requirements details of their achievements in delivering services to regional customers. This reporting would be consolidated under the Government’s Customer Focus Policy. In addition, the draft policy suggests the development of a State of the Regions report that would include information on all aspects of regional living including levels of service delivery, economic performance, demographic details and quality of life measures. The draft policy is open for public comment until 3 September 1999. Implementation of these initiatives will meet the Government’s commitment to monitoring the level of service delivery to regional Western Australia. PARKS AND RESERVES, CANCELLATIONS UNDER REGIONAL FOREST AGREEMENT 266. Dr EDWARDS to the Minister for the Environment: (1) Which conservation reserves (national parks, nature reserves, conservation parks) proposed and approved in current [Tuesday, 12 October 1999] 1801 forest management plans have been revoked, cancelled or withdrawn, or reduced in size, under the Comprehensive, Adequate and Representative (CAR) forest conservation reserve system set up by the Regional Forest Agreement (RFA)? (2) For each previously approved reserve will the Minister state how many hectares have been revoked, cancelled and withdrawn? (3) For each previously approved reserve, what is the area of - (a) forest, and (b) old growth forest that has been revoked, cancelled or withdrawn? (4) What area of each remains in conservation reserves? (5) Was each area revoked, cancelled or withdrawn scientifically assessed in order to decide whether or not it was worthy of conservation reserve status? (6) If not, why not? (7) If yes, will the Minister provide the scientific documentation specific to each area that led to the decision to revoke, cancel or withdraw its conservation reserve status? (8) Are any of the areas that have had their conservation reserve status revoked, cancelled or withdrawn likely to be used for mineral extraction in the future? (9) If yes, which ones? Mrs EDWARDES replied: (1)-(4) There are 18 polygons identified in the Table 6 of Attachment 1 to the Regional Forest Agreement, that under the RFA will remain as State forest. These areas are parts of 17 previously proposed conservation reserves. None of these areas have had their conservation status revoked, cancelled or withdrawn as the current land tenure for all of them is not as a conservation reserve. It is only the intention to reserve that has been changed. One of the objectives of the RFA process was to establish a comprehensive, adequate and representative (CAR) reserve system, in accordance with the Nationally Agreed Reserve Criteria. These criteria were completed in 1997 and differed from the criteria used to design the reserve system in the Forest Management Plan 1994-2003. As a result of the new criteria some values were found to be lacking in the existing reserve system, while other values were over-represented.
