Answers to questions
Flora and Fauna Committee
(Question No 1406)
Dr Foskey asked the Minister for the Territory and Municipal Services, upon notice, on 21 November 2006:
(1) How many vacancies are currently on the Flora and Fauna Committee;
(2) How long have these vacancies existed;
(3) Why are these vacancies yet to be filled;
(4) When are these vacancies expected to be filled;
(5) How often does this Committee meet and what are the dates of its last three meetings.
Mr Hargreaves: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) Three.
(2) One vacancy has existed since September 2004 when six members were appointed to the FFC. Two members resigned last year.
(3) The Flora and Fauna Committee is multidisciplinary, including experts on mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates, aquatic environments, vegetation, ecological communication and threatening processes. It is crucial to ensure that each member’s expertise complements rather than duplicates another’s expertise.
