(1) There have been no changes to rail access arrangements during the three months ending 31 March 2006. (2) No downstream processing projects were approved for final construction and start-up during the three months ending 31 March 2006. (3) There was one downstream processing project in the environmental assessment process as at 31 March 2006. (4) The project proponent was at the stage of the proponent preparing its Environmental Review document for submission to the Environmental Authority for assessment. (5) At any given time, there are discussions being conducted on the general facilitation of downstream investments. The State does not, however, give financial support to individual downstream processing projects. The State prefers to provide common user infrastructure facilities, when this is justified by a business case.
