Mr Speaker, I want to thank you very much for the opportunity to give you a progress update on the Dungowan Dam. It's an incredibly important piece of infrastructure which has brought about a further capital investment of half a billion dollars from Baiada. We're waiting for Baiada to start. Just the first part will result in 700 new, permanent jobs. This is the sort of underpinning of an economy that comes from an announcement by the Prime Minister, the Deputy Prime Minister and the Premier of New South Wales. We're looking forward to it being completed.
