Ms Patricia Comiskey:

I thank Senator Fitzpatrick for the question. For us, the main concern is around the parameters that might be set for that. It is a question of understanding those parameters, as Mr. Goodwin said. At present, for many of the projects that are seeking to be developed, what are known as aerial surveys are being carried out. We are flying out to the sites and taking data on the activity of birds and marine mammals there. Since the provisions are left quite open, there is no clarity on how surveys that are relatively benign and with no impact on, say, a potential marine protected area or foreshore space would be dealt with. We are really seeking clarity on the airspace aspect and what is actually meant by it.
