AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member who has been taken away for giving some notice of this question. Each submission has been prepared in the format required by Infrastructure Australia and as such has multiple parts. In some cases, particularly when maps and related reports are involved, the full text of submissions extends to hundreds of pages. In addition, some submissions contain confidential or commercially sensitive information, such as confidential industry data, that has been provided by parties outside of government. The submissions that are not constrained for the reasons outlined will shortly be published on the Infrastructure Australia website. In addition, the Department of State Development is finalising summaries of the submissions for public release.
