Mr. Peter Mullan:

We are thankful for the opportunity to address the committee on the work we do. There is a narrative out there that I hope we have been able to address. If nothing else comes out of this, it was important to address that narrative and set out the work we have done in clearing out the backlog and moving forward.

In respect of a single thing this committee could do, it would have to do with the importance of electrical and water infrastructure. There is a narrative that there are delays in those areas within our organisation, but we are not necessarily seeing that. There has been one very high-profile water case in the building. We will have it out in the next few weeks. The clarification around that is important. We are ready to engage with utility stakeholders and have that level of stakeholder engagement as we go forward.

The importance of planning, what we do and resourcing is important. We will continue to play our role if this committee can ensure Government resourcing of our organisation. If we face further challenges, we will need to be resourced. If we are not resourced, we will fall into the difficulties we fell into in the past.
