Mr Barr (in reply to a supplementary question by Mr Coe on Tuesday, 31 July 2018):

1. For Huntly (Blocks 412, 413, 426, 487, 489 District of Stromlo): I received a brief from the former Land Development Agency (LDA) which had two attachments – a business case, and internal Treasury advice to the Under Treasurer indicating Treasury support for the purchase. My office received this briefing material on 11 January 2016.
2. For Winslade (Blocks 435, 439, 440, 441, 456, 476, District of Stromlo): I received a brief from Treasury which had two attachments – a business case, and an LDA Strategy for Stromlo District Land Acquisitions. My office received this briefing material on 12 April 2017.
3.

It is routine business for a Minister and ministerial staff to have discussions with directorate and agency representatives. During 2015, 2016 and up to 30 June 2017, I held regular meetings with both the Under Treasurer and the former Chief Executive Officer of the former LDA, for example through weekly briefings on current issues.
