I thank the honourable member for some notice of the
question.
(1) The
Premier's chief of staff advised the Premier in the first week of July
2015 that he had met with Chevron, which advised it may be approaching the MRA
to seek a two-year deferral to the commencement date of the building of its
Elizabeth Quay head office.
(2) On 28 July
2015 the Premier spoke by telephone with Roy Krzywosinski, the managing
director of Chevron Australia Pty Ltd, at which time the Premier advised that
should Chevron wish to seek an extension, it should approach the MRA to request
a variation to the development agreement.
(3) Discussions
on this matter have been underway for some time, and both the Premier and
Minister for Planning have been aware of these discussions.
(4) The MRA
will complete negotiations with Chevron Australia to prepare an amending deed
that will be presented to the MRA board that will also address matters
regarding site presentation and activation during the two-year deferral period.
