I thank the member for some notice of the question.
(1) Yes.
(2) It was submitted on 17 January 2014.
(3) No.
(4) Not applicable.
(5) The
compliance assessment plans provided under condition 4-1 of ministerial
statements are not public documents under the Office of the Environmental
Protection Authority's information statement but can be requested under
freedom of information. The freedom of information process provides opportunity
for the company that submitted the plan to notify of any objection to the
release of the plan and for any commercial-in-confidence information to be
redacted. It is therefore not appropriate for me to table the plan; however, a
freedom of information request can be lodged with the Office of the
Environmental Protection Authority.
(6)–(7) Not applicable.
