AnswerView source ↗
I thank the Leader of the Opposition for some notice of the question. I note the date of the answer is 20 August, but I have no reason to expect that any factors would have changed since that date. (1) The use of one-person appeals committees is quite common to enable a committee to work full-time on an appeals investigation to allow the timely finalisation of the appeals process. (2) Because of Ms Keating’s extensive background and experience in environmental appeals investigations and environmental management, and because of her immediate availability to work full-time on the matter. (3) Ms Keating was the sole author of the appeals committee report. She was also the author of appendix 3. However, this appendix provides the advice of the Environmental Protection Authority on the appeal grounds, with some minor editorial changes and restructuring. Hon Tom Stephens tabled the answer to question on notice 1121. [See paper No 1413.]
