Hon

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. The following information has been provided to me
by the Minister for Transport.
(1)–(6) On
13 July 2018, the Peel Development Commission chair, Paddi Creevey, requested a
meeting regarding Forrestfield–Airport Link soil disposal. The minister
declined the meeting and requested that the Public Transport Authority respond
directly to the PDC. A telephone conversation occurred on 6 September 2018, the
points of which were confirmed in an email from the PTA to the PDC on 11 September
2018. I table the attached document.
