Ms Sharon Cosgrove:

On the P&A agreement and CALF review, we were consulted and provided a submission to the Department last year. We have had further conversations in this regard, and we understand there are going to be some changes to the P&A and CALF schemes in rural areas. For the schemes to work where there are high costs in urban areas, we will need more funds to be available through the P&A and CALF initiatives. If the costs are higher and we must pay market value, that is what we will need. In the rural areas, where the market value of properties and market rents are lower, we must have a higher level of CALF or of P&A to make this approach work. We await the decision of the Department.
