I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1)–(2) The accredited contaminated site auditor engaged by the former occupier of the site is currently reviewing the site investigation and remediation works undertaken at the site, and is preparing his mandatory auditor’s report. This report will assess the suitability of the site for its proposed future use. (3) The mandatory auditor’s report will be submitted to the Department of Environment and Conservation once it has been completed. DEC expects to complete its assessment within four weeks of receiving that report. (4) I have been advised by DEC that remedial work has already been undertaken at the site. However, the mandatory auditor’s report confirming this has not yet been submitted to DEC.
