1498. Hon Dr STEVE THOMAS to the minister representing the Minister for Lands: 

This question was asked on 15 August. I refer to my question without notice 763 of 8 August  2023. 

(1) What budgetary allocation has DevelopmentWA apportioned for the acquisition or  leasing of industrial land in Collie for the financial years 2023–24, 2024–25, 2025–26  and 2026–27? 

(2) What area or volume of industrial land in Collie is DevelopmentWA seeking to acquire or  lease in the financial years 2023–24, 2024–25, 2025–26 and 2026–27? 

(3) What is the projected time frame from the point of freehold acquisition of industrial land  in Collie by DevelopmentWA to the delivery of fully serviced, ready-to-go industrial  lots to the end consumer? 

Hon JACKIE JARVIS replied: 

I thank the member for some notice of the question. The following response has been  provided by the Minister for Lands. I note this answer was correct as of Tuesday, 15 August. 

(1) An amount of $12 million is allocated from 2023–24. 

(2)–(3) DevelopmentWA is seeking to acquire industrial land in the Collie region over the  next two years. The amount of land to be acquired and the delivery time frame are  subject to numerous factors, including the existing zoning and servicing capacity of the land, when the land can be secured and the identified needs of any future  proponents.
