(2) How has this figure changed since the closure of the St Marys Motor Registry? Answer— I am advised that in relation to the St Clair Motor Registry, the shopping centre where the old registry was located is being redeveloped. An extension of time to vacate the site was requested by the RTA, but was declined by centre management. Notice was given to the RTA to vacate the premises by 30 June last year. All RTA St Clair staff were relocated to existing motor registry locations including Mt Druitt, Penrith and Blacktown. Customers are being encouraged to make use of these nearby motor registries, which have had their resources increased. The RTA is currently finalising discussions with landlords in the St Marys area in order to secure suitable premises from which to provide relevant services. Following the closure of the St Clair Motor Registry, Mount Druitt Motor Registry has had an increase of approximately 23 per cent in workload. However, Mount Druitt Motor Registry has increased resourcing by approximately 28 per cent. *3240 SALE OF POLICE BOAT “NEMESIS”—Mr Craig Baumann asked the Minister for Police, Minister for the Illawarra— Regarding the sale of Police boat "Nemesis": (1) Has the Nelson Bay-based Police boat "Nemesis" been sold? (2) Is there a replacement vessel for the "Nemesis"? (3) If so, what is its size and specifications? (4) Will a replacement vessel be based out of Port Stephens? (5) Is the Government committed to providing the Port Stephens coastal area with the best possible search and rescue equipment available? Answer— The NSW Police Force has advised me: (1) Yes. (2) Yes. (3) The Nemesis is being replaced by a 16 metre Austral Offshore Launch. (4) Yes. (5) Yes. *3242 POLICE ESCORTS OF OVERSIZED VEHICLES—Mr Craig Baumann asked the Minister for Police, Minister for the Illawarra— Regarding police escorts of oversized vehicles: (1) What is the policy of NSW Police regarding the use of police resources to escort oversized vehicles, such as commercial trucks and transports? (2) Do private operators of oversized vehicles compensate NSW Police for the use of their resources when escorts are required? (3) Regarding a specific incident that occurred on 20 April 2008 at 7.15 am on the Pacific Highway past Tea Gardens, why would a single "long load" vehicle require an escort of four highway patrol cars? (4) How many patrol cars should be carrying out regular highway patrol duties at that time and how many of these were tasked to carry out that escort role? Answer— The NSW Police Force has advised me: 3254 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS TUESDAY 15 JULY 2008 (1) Requirements for operators taking oversize vehicles through specified critical locations are set out in Part 7.1 of the Road Transport (Mass, Loading and Access) Regulation 2005. These operators must contact police to ascertain whether an escort is required and police then assess each case on its merits to ensure road safety. (2) Private operators compensate the NSW Police Force for use of all officers, vehicles and time involved with escorts, as set out in the User Pays Scheme's current schedule of charges. (3) Police records indicate that no such loads were moved on 20 April 2008. However, on 18 April 2008, two loads of 60 metre long concrete bridge beams were transported. Due to their excessive length and safety concerns involved in moving loads of this nature, it was determined that four Highway Patrol officers and their vehicles should be used to escort these loads. (4) The four officers mentioned above were performing User Pays duty for this operation and were in addition to normally rostered staff. *3243 COLLINGWOOD ABORIGINAL PLACE NAME NOMINATION—Ms Pru Goward asked the Minister for Climate Change and the Environment, Minister for Women, Minister for Science and Medical Research, and Minister Assisting the Minister for Health (Cancer)— (1) (a) During the investigations into the Collingwood Aboriginal place nomination, were Aboriginal values established for the site? (b) If so, what was the level of significance and what was the strength of those values? (2) Why is the processing of the nomination taking so long? (3) What is the normal turn-around time for processing an Aboriginal place nomination after a recommendation has gone to the Minister? (4) What is the level of support for the Aboriginal place nomination of the Collingwood site? (5) Has an Aboriginal place ever been declared based solely on a single nomination? (6) In making a decision to approve, or not to approve, an Aboriginal place declaration, on what range of criteria does the Minister base their consideration? (7) Who decides the list of criteria by which an Aboriginal place assessment is to be declared? Answer— (1) (a) Yes. (b) I understand that credible evidence has been found in support of the special significance of the nominated place to Aboriginal culture. (2) The investigation has not taken an unusually long time to complete, however, there have been matters requiring additional consultation and consideration. These matters include the determination of an appropriate boundary for the Aboriginal place, if declared, and the implications of any such declaration for the future management of the site. (3) There are no set timeframes. I have not yet received a recommendation on this nomination. (4) There is a high level of community support for the nomination. (5) Yes. (6) The only criteria for declaration is that the Minister be of the opinion that the place is or was of special significance with respect to Aboriginal culture. In forming an opinion, consideration is given to the values purported to make the place of special significance and the nature and extent of the evidence supporting those values. (7) The National Parks and Wildlife Act 1974 establishes the criteria for declaration of an Aboriginal place. *3244 GUARDIANSHIP HEARING—EMILY BROWN—Ms Katrina Hodgkinson asked the Minister for Community Services— (1) How many DoCS staff attended the Guardianship Tribunal hearing regarding the custody of Emily Brown?

(4) What was the total cost to DoCS, including legal fees, for attending this hearing? Answer— (1) Three. (2) The Manager Casework was the applicant, the Manager Client Services attended as supervising officer and the Director Intensive Support Services was present due to the very complex nature of this case and at the specific request of the Guardianship Tribunal. 3255 LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS TUESDAY 15 JULY 2008 (3) DoCS was legally represented by a DoCS lawyer. (4) No legal fees were incurred and the attendance of DoCS officers was seen as a normal part of their duties in relation to ongoing casework. No special costs were incurred in relation to this hearing. *3245 LEAD CONTAMINATION AT REID’S FLAT PRIMARY SCHOOL—Ms Katrina Hodgkinson asked the Deputy Premier, Minister for Transport, Minister for Finance representing the Minister for Education and Training, Minister for Industrial Relations, Minister for the Central Coast, and Minister Assisting the Minister for Finance— (1) With reference to my earlier Question 0823, what was the remedial action taken by the Department of Education and Training as foreshadowed in your answer? (2) On what date was this completed? (3) (a) As parents have expressed concerns about lead contamination of the playground due to overflow from the contaminated rainwater tank, has the Department conducted testing of the soils around the school to identify the level of lead contamination? (b) If not will you immediately require this testing to take place? (4) (a) Have any of the children attending Reid's Flat School been tested for lead contamination? (b) If not, why not?
