Mr. Lorcan O'Connor:

What we understand to be the case is that the consultation process is undertaken in accordance with the code, which envisages a number of different stages of consultation. I heard from the committee's guests earlier that they are not satisfied with the way in which some of those consultations, not necessarily for the specific project the Senator is speaking about but in general, are being undertaken. In that regard, that is something we will certainly look into. In my mind, the way in which the code envisages various stages of consultation and the other initiatives that need to happen to deliver the greenway are carefully calibrated in terms of the interests of landowners, the local community, etc. If the consultation is conducted in accordance with the code, I would be happy with the way in which that has played out, but if the Senator has any specific concerns, I am happy to take those on board.
