I refer to the Minister’s media release on the 9
June 2020 titled ‘Accelerated aquaculture development in Mid-West to net local jobs’
and the fact that the accelerated process will ‘shave months off the previous
schedule', and I ask: (a) Please outline the previous schedule including
estimates of when the nursery was due to be: (i) Constructed; (ii) Open; (iii) Fully operational; and (iv) Operating at
bi-monthly capacity; and (b) Please outline what documentation was used to
decide the previous schedule?
