I appreciate that the Minister of State will look into this further. When the TPO process is going through, there is a consultation with the land owner and the land owner can make the submissions. That happens when the TPO is being made. I am talking about a process that will apply when the TPO has been made and has been in existence for some number of years. I am seeking to ensure there is an opportunity for the land owner to say they would like to have it revoked or amended. In other words, it should not be a one-way trip into a TPO - there should be a provision whereby it can be assessed.
