(2) Was a penalty was applied to Brindabella Christian College for the removal of these trees; if there has been no penalty applied, why not; if there has yet to be a penalty applied over two years later, why not.

Mr Steel: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1) A preliminary investigation was undertaken by Access Canberra.

(2) No penalty was applied. Conditions of approval were imposed on the development application submitted by Brindabella Christian College (BCC).
