Leigh Creek

The Hon. T.J. STEPHENS (14:49): A further supplementary question: what about the millions of dollars' worth of infrastructure actually on the mine site that could be quite valuable for a new industry that the company was talking about bulldozing? That would be a tragic loss.

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Employment, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Science and Information Economy) (14:49): I thank the member for the further supplementary. There are some sheds and some admin buildings near the mine site at Leigh Creek. There is also the retention dam and other workshops, and we are in discussions with the company about the future of those because there are some things that might be easier for the company not to bulldoze and get rid of. We are keen to see how they could be used if there is a possible project that would keep using the site, particularly the coal or other resources at the mine site.
