Yes
(a) The issues raised are legal matters which require detailed legal advice. The issues that have to be considered include the land tenure under the dry river creeks and river beds which may give rights to interest holders of that land tenure, environmental and Aboriginal heritage issues and possible liability issues of the State agreeing to the use of the proposed route. These are issues which can be discussed at the meeting proposed between you and the Department of Regional Development and Lands.
