Dr BURNS - 2003-08-14
Dr BURNS (Environment and Heritage): Madam Speaker, on the question I answered about an EIS in relation to the Darwin City Waterfront Project, I would like to clarify the following issues that will be identified by the EIS process that I mentioned, that may have an effect on the bids. These will be progressively provided to the bidders and taken into account as they frame their proposals.
One EIS process will be required, as the EIS that is going to be done will be broad enough to cover the range of proposals that we are likely to receive. An environmental management plan that comes out of that will be novated to the successful developer and will be part of the final negotiations between June and December 2004.
Detailed investigation into remediation issues will identify the work that the government will do to prepare the site - again between June and December 2004,.
Mr Reed: So you have completely messed it up.
Mr Henderson: Get behind it, guys! You are anti-development.
Mr Reed: You lot are not talking to each other about this project.
Madam SPEAKER: Order!
Dr BURNS: Read the Hansard.
Mr Reed: Well, we cannot believe your answers.
Mr Henderson: Do you support the convention centre on the wharf, or not?
Mr Baldwin: Absolutely.
Members interjecting.
Dr BURNS: No inconsistency, just detail.
Madam SPEAKER: Order, order! That is enough. You have had your fun. We will continue with Government Business.
