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.

We acknowledge the traditional owners and custodians of country throughout Australia and acknowledge their continuing connection to land, waters and community. We pay our respects to the people, the cultures and the elders past, present and emerging.
