The provisions of the Bill are considered sufficient to provide for adequate compensation relating to any material impact arising from public abstractions, both permanent and temporary. There is no need for the development of a national compensation claims protocol related to material impacts arising from public abstractions. During the development of the Bill, due consideration was given to all potential compensation claims that could arise as a result of abstractions undertaken in accordance with this legislation. I am confident that the provisions in the Bill are more than suitable for any circumstance related to abstractions. In that regard I do not accept the amendment.
