The witnesses are very welcome. I will try to keep my questions short. I would appreciate succinct answers so that we can get through the several topics I wish to touch on.
I wish to ask about the 72 sites throughout the State, which account for nearly 1,000 ha. One of those is the site at Backweston, with which I am very familiar. How does the Department control and manage that estate? Does it map those sites? Is there a list? Are costs involved in maintaining those sites?
