Senator Gavan stated that works must be completed within 78 weeks. In fact, the legislation provides that works necessary to carry out the approved remediation option must commence within 78 weeks. That time limit relates to commencement of works, not their completion. There is a big difference between what the Senator has said on the record and what is set out in the legislation. Perhaps he did not read it.
