The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for State/Local Government Relations, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Consumer Affairs, Minister for Government Enterprises, Minister Assisting the Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Energy): The Minister for Environment and Conservation has advised:

Due to economic uncertainty, some aspects of Bradken's proposed expansion will now be delayed.

Notwithstanding the delay, Bradken has advised the EPA that it intends to proceed with environmental improvements. However, it has advised that some improvements may not be met within original timeframes.

The EPA advises that some noticeable improvements are expected to take place in the 2009-10 financial year.
