(a) Yes. I refer to question C323 answered on 4 April 2019 at which time I tabled the active works approval, licences and amendment notices issued to Yara Pilbara Fertilisers Pty Ltd and Yara Pilbara Nitrates Pty Ltd for the Yara Pilbara fertiliser plant [see tabled paper no. 2563].
Further to this, a number of superseded licences and works approvals have been issued for these premises since 2003. Of these, I table those that were available from the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation’s electronic archive [see tabled paper no. #].
A search through hardcopy archives continues for superseded versions 1, 2, 3, 5 and 9 of the Licence. I will table these documents once they have been located.
(b) Not applicable
