(a) As part of the sales process valuation advice is sought from the Valuer General. However, to ensure the State receives the best commercial return for the sale of land based on market demand; this information will be kept confidential as this will likely influence buying behaviour.
(b) The western portion is zoned "Industrial" under the Metropolitan Region Scheme and zoned "General Industry" under the Town Planning Scheme. The eastern portion is zoned "Railways".
(c) No contamination registered on the site.
(d) A further site inspection will be conducted as part of the asset divestment process.
