Ms Laura Burke:

From our point of view, we are satisfied that the operation of that facility is within all of the requirements and that the issue is closed. We have to monitor the facility on an ongoing basis to make sure it operates within its licence requirements. That is absolutely key. From the multiple investigations that have happened with regard to the site, we are certainly satisfied based on all of the science and evidence in front of us, as well as the other expert parties in those groups I referred to.
