I refer the Premier to his reply to Question without Notice No. 1394 concerning his decision on the appeals against the EPA’s report and recommendations regarding the Coral Coast Resort proposal, and ask -
(1) Can the Premier explain why his letters to interested parties acknowledge that the appeals he was dealing with are against the EPA’s report yet his decision was a decision against the proposal per se?
(2) Can the Premier provide an explanation why Fiona Keating, as the one person Appeals Committee charged with preparing a report on the appeals against the EPA’s report, should produce a recommendation dealing with the proposal itself yet does not produce a recommendation on whether the appeals against the EPA’s report should be upheld or dismissed?
(3) Has anyone from the EPA or other interested agencies raised concerns with the Premier over Fiona Keating’s recommendation failing to address the subject matter of the appeal, that being appeals against the EPA report rather than the proposal?
(4) If so, who has raised the concerns?
