Mr. Terry Sheridan:
About the lack of commencement of permissions as quickly as we would have hoped and wished. As I said, he is going to come forward with his responses to the review group report within a matter of weeks and they may include further legislative changes. That has been flagged. As Mr. Walsh has signalled, that could include the application of a vacant site levy where permissions are not being activated, and perhaps attaching a condition to those permissions that they must be commenced within a certain period after the permission is granted. All of these issues are being looked at present.
