The Member will be aware that discussions have been underway for some years about the potential redevelopment of the site and our candidate Sabine Winton asked if we could try to help make some progress. We contacted Inghams management in Sydney and met with them in a subsequent meeting in Perth. We gave Inghams reassurance that we supported the principle that the Sinagra site move to an urban zoning and that we would work with them to ensure any approvals they required to build their new facility would be dealt with in a timely manner.
