The answer

Answered by Jim Mather on 27 Nov 2009 · 9 days after it was lodged, on time

In December 2007, I announced an objective of having applications being determined within nine months where there is no public inquiry.
Since that date, we have received nine applications for new hydro power energy developments and one application for an extension to a hydro power energy development. Of these, the following have not been able to be determined within our nine month objective.
