Ms Rosemary Collier:
That would have been laid in March of 2024. Just to be clear; there was a pause. During the summer recess the initial excavation started. We left the compound in place and came off site. That was always part of the plan. We finished out the design in terms of what was required for drainage, underground drains and the base and then we went back in at the start of January and it was completed in April 2024. The actual construction period was really January to April, about three and a half months.
