The committee carried out pre-legislative scrutiny on the substitute consent provisions, we had the witnesses in to discuss it and we did research on it. However, I do not know what has to be contained in the remedial EIAR. One of the concerns I have is how one assesses a site where there might have been unauthorised development for many a decade. What would the baseline condition be if an EIA had been carried out when it should have been?
