I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (14:41): As I said, in August 2012, a site contamination consultant was engaged by the EPA to undertake environmental assessment works in the area. This has involved the drilling and installation of both groundwater monitoring wells and soil vapour wells on council land, road verges and at other locations. The assessments have focused on sensitive land uses which are defined in the National Environment Protection (Assessment of Site Contamination) Measure 1999, as I mentioned earlier. The first report, I am advised, was completed in March 2013.
