Mr SPEIRS (Bright) (15:13): A supplementary: has the minister been consulted by the Department of Environment on potential legislation to facilitate the lease or licence?

The Hon. G.G. BROCK (Frome—Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Local Government) (15:13): It was quite some time ago. It was a long time ago, and I think things have changed a bit since then. However, I haven't had a briefing recently, but I am sure that the minister in the other place is already indicating that. Through my discussions with the relevant council, I know that the minister is looking forward to giving me another briefing as the local member.
