Ms O’CONNOR question to MINISTER for INFRASTRUCTURE, Mr VINCENT
Can we have some clarity on that statement? Are you advising the Council that TasPorts is essentially taking a hands-off position in relation to the Devonport wharf because the wharf is leased to TT-Line? It is somewhat concerning if that is the case, given the scale of this infrastructure and its importance to the state – if you, as the minister, are not kept up to date.
ANSWER
Mr President, as I explained, they do attend the meetings, and they talk between them all the time.
Ms O’Connor – Do they talk to you?
Mr VINCENT – Yes, they do. I am in those meetings as well, but on a day-to-day basis – is the simplest way to describe it – TasPorts does not have any involvement with the structure there at this point in time. They do have involvement in what was set up originally at Berth 3 and there are still jobs that TasPorts has to do as the structure is put in place over the coming 12 months. The timing of those parts of the job are scheduled between TasPorts and TT-Line.
