The Benefits of Engaging NRA Innovation An innovator in the arena of environmental services, NRA was the first specialist environmental consultancy in north Queensland. Since its establishment in 1984, the company has continued to be innovative and has remained a sector leader. A selection of examples of NRA’s ability to gauge future direction and position itself, and its clients, ahead of regulatory requirements is provided below. • NRA pioneered the introduction of erosion and sediment control plans (ESCP) in north Queensland and co-authored the accepted training manual for Townsville and Cairns City Councils. As a consequence of this initiative, continued investment and demonstrated proficiency, NRA is the recognised leader in this field. • NRA pioneered the application of specialist freshwater ecology and general ecology to the monitoring and assessment of resource development impacts to ephemeral systems in north Queensland. NRA has developed standard monitoring and reporting systems and maintains a database and reference specimen collection. Freshwater ecology related requirements are now routine elements of regulatory policy and licensing documents, and the Queensland environmental regulator sought out NRA’s expertise in formulating the minimum standards expected from mining companies across the State. • NRA was a pioneer in the development

    Department of Defence Budget Estimates Hearing – 2 & 3 June 2014 Question on Notice No. 1 - Special Operation Task Force Senator Whish-Wilson asked on 2 June 2014, Hansard page 8: Senator WHISH-WILSON: Special operations task force. You put out a department media release on 8 May 2013 regarding an operation in Zabul province in Afghanistan—an investigation. Gen. Hurley: There are two aspects to that investigation. There was an inquiry officer's investigation conducted and the Australian Defence Force Investigative Service was doing an investigation. Both of those are still open. I think the former is close to completion, but the investigative service is still working on particular aspects of it, so they are still in hand. Senator WHISH-WILSON: Will it be publicly released when it is finished? Gen. Hurley: Once we have the outcome, I will provide advice to the minister on that. I will reserve that until I have actually read it myself. Senator WHISH-WILSON: Are you able to provide the date on which it was submitted to CJOPS? Gen. Hurley: I will take it on notice. Response: The Inquiry Officer’s Inquiry Report was submitted to CJOPS on 26 July 2013. The related Australian Defence Force Investigative Service investigation continues.
