(a) – (n)
As there are a significant number of land developments and land parcels involved, answering all parts of this question would require considerable time to collate and prepare. Given the level of agency resourcing required to provide this detailed information for each land development and land parcel, it is not considered to be a reasonable use of government resources.
However, if the Honourable Member wishes to inquire about a specific parcel/s of land, the Minister will endeavour to provide this information.
