I thank Mr. Coleman. I agree in the context of something of that size, with such a high target of delivery.

As regards the acquisition of State lands, if the LDA goes into negotiation with a State agency, Department or other body to acquire a site, there is a requirement for the site to be offered to the LDA first. Does the payment for the site go to that agency or organisation or, alternatively, back into central finance?
