(3) If yes to (1), what is the nature of that activity?
(4) If yes to (1), were the Mayala traditional owners or representatives advised?
(5) If yes to (1), has the Environmental Protection Authority or Department of Environment and Conservation received any advice from any party or agency on this matter?
(6) If yes to (5), what was that advice and from whom did it come?
