The Minister has just said that planning takes an inordinate amount of time. We are on notice there will be opposition to this plan when it comes. That is the nature of privilege. We hear it through the national airwaves. The Minister said the planning process takes an inordinate amount of time and there is a balance of rights to be struck between development and environmental impact. How does the Minister see this progressing? There is an ongoing review. How will it be addressed to deliver these projects as quickly as is possible?
