4 Executive Summary The Department for Planning and Infrastructure is responsible for what is arguably the most diverse range of activities in State Government. This diversity presents the Department with the opportunity to enhance the quality of life for every household and person in the State. Since the Department’s creation in 2001 it has faced many challenges. At first the challenges related to the State’s resources boom, which saw unprecedented growth in the State’s population resulting in huge demand on the State’s services and infrastructure. On the other hand, in the 2008-09 financial year the circumstances changed dramatically as a consequence of the global economic crisis. This report highlights the Department’s achievements while operating in this changing financial environment with reduced resources yet a continued growth in demand for services. The detailed Report on Operations section of this document expands on the great diversity of the Department’s activities while relating them to the relevant new State Government goals. In this summary you will gain a snapshot of some of the Department’s key achievements during 2008-09 financial year. The Department processed 6718 separate land transactions that generated $33.418 million from administered land sales and $11.448 million from rental fees associated with land and sea/river bed leases. Over the last 12 months the State Land Services Business Unit transferred land totalling almost $3.399 million in line with Government agreements. The Department worked with Carnegie Corporation to successfully issue a licence to the Corporation for over 30,147 hectares of the Albany coastline allowing the establishment of the CETO wave energy project. In addition associated land policy was developed to address the growing need for State land by renewable energy organisations. A bulletin for the Estimated Resident Population was developed and published; this work is continuing in relation to new population projections for all local government areas and completion is scheduled for 2009–10. An Industrial Land Strategy has been developed over the year and is due for completion in July 2009. It represents investigation of past and future trends for demand and supply of industrial land in the Perth Metropolitan and Peel regions and identifies potential land to meet the forecast demand.
The Department commenced work on the social impact assessment for the Kimberley LNG precinct, which is required as a component of the environmental approvals for the precinct. Transit Oriented Development (TOD) assists, stimulates and facilitates the development and revitalisation of rail station centres and surrounding precincts. In 2008-09 TOD related activities included precinct studies at Stirling, Canning Bridge, Murdoch and Ashfield stations. In the last 12 months industry applied for the construction of 26,119 residential lots, 22,772 of these lots were granted conditional approval. Industry returned to the Department for final approval on 12,179 constructed lots taking the total at the end of June this year to 73,408 lots with conditional approval. This supply will continue to be monitored to ensure demand can be met. Coastwest grant agreements were put in place and staged funding commenced for successful projects announced in June 2008. Fifteen grant projects from previous rounds were completed and acquitted. In June this year 26 projects were allocated Coastwest grants totalling around $639,000. The largest grant will fund the protection of the Leschenault Peninsula Conservation Park. In 2008–09 the Department, in conjunction with the industry and railway operators, determined the infrastructure and operational costs to reestablish a rail freight service to transport plantation logs between North Greenbushes and the Port of Bunbury. The Government subsequently committed $19.45 million for the substantial upgrade. The Rail Safety Business Unit also worked closely with industry and took the total of accredited rail transport operators in Western Australia to 26. Executive Summary This year, the Department released broad-hectare sites totalling over 50 hectares for residential developments in Broome, Karratha, Kulin, Newman, Port Hedland, South Hedland and Tom Price as well as light industrial land at Karratha. The Pastoral Lands Board governance review was completed during 2008- 09 reinforcing the significance and role of the board. In addition a great deal of preparatory work has occurred in relation to the 2015 pastoral lease renewals and this will continue in the coming year to ensure the project stays on schedule. The Department’s aviation team completed an intrastate aviation review and the results were presented to the Minister. The team also managed the 2008-09 Regional Airports Development Scheme (RADS) funding round and awarded 20 regional communities grants totalling more than $2 million. 5
