Senator Bob Brown asked the Minister representing the Minister for Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities, upon notice, on 4 November 2010:

Has the Australian Heritage Council’s final recommendations on the assessment of national and international heritage values of the West Kimberley been sent to the Minister; if so, when were they sent; if not, when will they be sent.


Senator Conroy (Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy and Minister Assisting the Prime Minister on Digital Productivity) —The Minister for Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities has provided the following answer to the honourable senator’s question:

The Australian Heritage Council provided its assessment on national heritage values of the west Kimberley to the former Minister on 30 June 2010.

I have extended the period in which to make my decision about national heritage listing to 30 June 2011 in order to allow time for further consultation.

In making my decision on national heritage listing I will carefully consider the Council’s assessment and all comments received .
