Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1
The Land Engineering Agency Test Services Relocation, Monegeetta,
Victoria, was referred to the Public Works Committee (PWC) of the 41st
Parliament on 31 May 2007. The Committee had completed the inquiry process and
adopted its report but did not table the report prior to the dissolution of the
Parliament. [1]
The referral therefore lapsed.
1.2
The Land Engineering Agency Test Services Relocation, Monegeetta,
Victoria, was referred to the PWC of the 42nd Parliament on 13 March
2008. This Committee decided not to repeat the inquiry process as it was
advised by the Department of Defence that there had been no significant changes
to the works since the original referral. Evidence taken on this inquiry is
available on the Committee’s website.[2]
1.3
This Committee has resolved to adopt the report as adopted by the PWC of
the 41st Parliament without amendment. The following chapters are
the report as adopted by the PWC of the 41st Parliament. Therefore
any references to ‘the Committee’ in Chapters 2 to 4 refer to the PWC of the 41st
Parliament.
1.4
The Committee thanks the former Chair, the Hon Judi Moylan MP and the
members of the PWC of the 41st Parliament for their time and
expertise in conducting the inquiry.
