My constituency question is for the Minister for Energy and Resources and it is in relation to the potential expansion of the Stawell goldmine.
As the minister would be aware, there has been much community angst regarding the operation and potential expansion of the goldmine at Stawell, and it has been an ongoing issue in Stawell for a number of years now.
I request that the minister inform me of the steps the government is taking to address community concerns in Stawell regarding this issue and ensure that discussions between the mine, residents and government agencies are calm, reasonable and constructive.
