ALCOA — SUPPLEMENTARY PROPERTY PURCHASE PROGRAM
I refer to Alcoa’s supplementary property purchase program and deed of agreement. (1) Given that Alcoa has not signed an agreement to extend the original SPPP deadline, what is now the legally binding requirement for Alcoa to uphold applications that were registered under the original SPPP time frame, but that are not finalised due to the time limitations of that original agreement? (2) Is the deed of undertaking with Alcoa in dispute? (3) If yes, who is disputing it? (4) Is the SPPP under dispute? (5) If yes, who is disputing it? Hon KATE DOUST

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. In response, I have been provided with the following answer — (1) Alcoa and the government have accepted the need to extend the time line in the deed of undertaking. The new dates are yet to be finalised. The original time line was not achieved because of the unexpectedly high number of applications from property owners and the unavailability of valuers. (2) No. (3) Not applicable. (4) No. (5) Not applicable.
