Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government

This is an operational matter and as such it is a matter for the Pyrite Resolution Board, which has statutory responsibility for the pyrite remediation scheme, to determine the appropriate level of expertise and training required by staff undertaking the audit process. The Board can be contacted at 1890 252842 or [e-mail].
