TECHNOLOGY
AND INDUSTRY ADVISORY COUNCIL — ANNUAL ACTIVITY REPORT
197. Hon KATE DOUST to the minister representing the
Minister for Science and Innovation:
I refer to the Technology and Industry Advisory Council's
annual activity report 2010–1l, which provided three reports on the
gas, minerals and environment sectors, completed in April 2011, and the
activity report's reference to reviews of the three reports in
preparation for the development of sector plans.
(1) Given that
it has been 12 months since the reports were completed, what stage are these
sector plans at?
(2) Who is developing these sector plans and at what cost?
(3) If the reports are not
completed, when will they be completed and when will they be released?
(4) Have the sector stakeholders
affected by the plans been consulted?
(5) If yes to (4), will the minister
release the names of those who have been consulted; and, if not, why not?
