Correct me if I wrong, but if there was a variation of the plan, surely the OPR would already be involved in the process because that is already set out? I said this at a session at which the Minister may not have been present. The work the OPR has done in respect of the current round of development plans has been very positive. It has an even more involved role. However, I am not so sure any of it is necessary, given that the first round of development plans in which it has been involved has proven quite successful. There is no aspect of a development of which the OPR will not already have had detailed, intimate knowledge and involvement in up to and after the final approval, subject to whether there is a draft direction, a ministerial order, etc. The OPR already has a role in any material alteration. Someone, somewhere must have thought something might require this. Will the Minister provide clarity on that?
