QuestionView source ↗
I refer to a Media Statement titled ‘Government approves realignment of Goldfields Eastern Bypass Road’ dated August 8 2001 -
(1) Can the Minister state the width, depth and length in metres of the ‘current approved limits’ of the super pit mine?
(2) Can the Minister table a scaled map indicating the width, depth, length in metres of the mine with its ‘current approved limits’ showing the current eastern bypass road, the approved realignment and other infrastructure including residential, and commercial properties in the area?
(3) If not, why not?
