Environment Protection Authority Licensing Approvals

Mr VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart) (14:40): My question is to the Minister for Energy. As the government's temporary diesel generators will require an EPA works approval and licence and the EPA's public advice to project proponents is that licence assessments can take up to four months, when is the government assuming its generators will receive the necessary EPA licensing approvals?

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Treasurer, Minister for Finance, Minister for State Development, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy) (14:40): I don't have that information here with me, but I will get that for the member as quickly as I possibly can.
