Parliament: 40 Session: 1


VIMY RESOURCES — URANIUM PROJECT
      71. Hon LYNN MacLAREN to the Minister for Environment:
I refer to Vimy Resources' proposed uranium project at Mulga Rocks.
(1) What, if any, operations are Vimy currently undertaking at the Mulga Rocks site?
(2) Does Vimy have a licence to construct issued by the Department of Environment Regulation?
Hon STEPHEN DAWSON replied:
I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question.
The following information has been provided to me by the Department of Environment Regulation and the Office of the Environmental Protection Authority.
      (1) The member is asked to direct this question to the Minister for Mines and Petroleum. However, noting it is her last day in the chamber, I will ensure that the Minister for Mines and Petroleum provides a response to this house at the next day's sitting. It will be sent to her in a private capacity.
      (2) The Department of Environment Regulation does not issue licences to construct. The department has not received any application for works approvals or licences from Vimy Resources Ltd.
