Update

NSW Premier, Barry O'Farrell  released the Barangaroo Delivery Authority's detailed response to the Barangaroo Review and the Barangaroo Independent Remediation Review Panel Report on 19 January 2012.

Mr O'Farrell said that the Barangaroo Board had provided him with its detailed response to the review and that he would endorse its recommendations.

He also released an expert review of remediation plans for Barangaroo which finds assessment and planning for cleaning up the site's historic contamination has been of a "consistently high standard".

The report supports the findings of the Sussex and Penn Review "... that those responsible for the development of the site intend to remediate the site safely and in accordance with best practice."

The NSW Government has accepted and will adopt the recommendations of the Peer Review Panel.
