We now have a white elephant, as people have said. The Department is obviously figuring out what it will do with the land. I would like to know the position in this regard. The land is an asset acquired by the State and it is not being used for anything. It is serviced land and has cost a fortune. What is the process in this regard? Can something or anything be salvaged from the situation? Who is part of the group? What kinds of options are they looking at? The committee could have quite a productive hearing on these points in order to take the matter further from where the Comptroller and Auditor General's predecessor left it by way of his report, and it could establish the extent of further costs and expenditure since that report's publication and the plan from here on out.
