Woodchip pile at Macquarie Point: Will you immediately quash this plan?
The Independent Member for Denison, Andrew Wilkie, has asked the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure and Regional Development the following question TODAY at approximately 2.15pm in Federal Parliament.
“I helped secure a $50m grant to refurbish Macquarie Point in Hobart and unleash $1bn in investment.
“This is the largest brownfield site left in any capital city, but yet the State Government’s now talking about using it for a woodchip pile.
“Surely this is at odds with any agreement with the Commonwealth, in which case will you immediately quash this plan?”
