Mark - Quick update before your 3pm meeting.
Allen's have produced a new term sheet but Steve K does not have approval to release it to me as yet. He didprovide some Allen's advice on deficiencies with the previous version that we saw (attached).
The DP is to meet with Adani this afternoon and he might give them the term sheet for comment.

David -1 expect to see a draft term sheet today, following Aliens' review and redrafting. Steve K has said they wantto discuss it with Adani this week. A draft CBRC submission is being considered internally but is yet to be shared withus or DPC. Also yet to get clarity on when it will be considered - perhaps this may be discussed today at theQTT,DPC, DSDIP D-G level meeting at 3pm. Deferral to next week when the Treasurer is back would be preferable.

Hi Jason,
Thanks for this. At a quick read of the Aliens advice, it would seem that John has taken on board some of the
concerns I expressed to him on Thursday night.
I have just had a discussion with Jon Grayson ahead of our session with David Edwards this afternoon, and he
confirmed previous position of DPC.
I will let you know the outcome of this afternoon's meeting, although I am in back-to-back meetings until after 5pm.

I have just briefed Jason verbally. Meeting went well. DE seems to have softened his positionconsiderably. Not sure what has driven this - possibly the legal advice from Aliens which Jason
circulated earlier this afternoon (which not surprisingly was very much in line with our previousanalysis), or whether there are other factors at work behind the scenes.
At least we are making some progress in chipping away at it!!!

However, now David Edwards is going to ring me rather than have me attend a meeting. Also Craig Wilson is inSydney so he could not attend the meeting. I will let you know what transpires.

Dear
The Galilee Basin is critical to the State's future economic development. As you are aware,proposed projects in the Basin are valued at between $14 billion and $29 billion and includecoal mines, rail, port and other economic infrastructure. It is estimated that coal miningdevelopment in the basin could create up to 28,000 new jobs and many business opportunities
for Queenslanders.
The Galilee Basin in contrast to the Bowen Basin is more remote and requires a very significant
investment in infrastructure for any mining project to proceed.
While most of the rail and port infrastructure that services the Bowen Basin was publiclyfinanced and built by the Queensland Government, proponents seeking to develop mines inthe Galilee Basin will need to meet the considerable capital costs of building significant railand port infrastructure before mining can begin.
In November 2103, the Queensland Government released the Galilee Basin Development Strategywhich identified a number of options to be considered by the Government to provideassistance to proponents to progress development of the Galilee Basin.
As we have been discussing, after due consideration of all of the options identified in theGalilee Basin Development Strategy, the Government has decided that it is prepared to considermaking Infrastructure Enabling Investments to Galilee Basin proponents who will meet themajority of the cost of providing the infrastructure necessary to open up the Galilee Basin.
I am pleased to confirm that the Queensland Government will consider making anInfrastructure Enabling Investment on commercial terms so long as that investment willenable world class efficient infrastructure to be built that will facilitate the early developmentof the Galilee Basin.
As you are aware, this Government is committed to negotiating with all Galilee Basin minersand infrastructure providers to identify Infrastructure Enabling Investment opportunities thatwill facilitate efficient common use infrastructure that will enable the benefits of developingthe resources of the Galilee Basin to be realised by Queenslanders.

Any Queensland Government investment in this enabling infrastructure will be on commercialterms and the government will be seeking to divest its interest as the mining projects in theGalilee Basin reach full production and the infrastructure is more fully utilised.
This reflects the Queensland Government's preparedness to support the coal industry, thevalue that the State of Queensland places on developing the Galilee Basin and recognition ofthe significant investment required to deliver these large greenfield projects and to stimulateeconomic development in the regions.
The Director-General of the Department of State Development, Infrastructure and Planning,Mr David Edwards and I will continue working with you in furthering our agreements andmaking an announcement on the 17 November 2014.
I look forward to a productive working relationship into the future.

Dear
The Galilee Basin is critical to the State's future economic development. As you are aware,proposed projects in the Basin are valued at between $14 billion and $29 billion and includecoaf mines, rail, port and other economic infrastructure. It is estimated that coal miningdevelopment in the basin could create up to 28,000 new jobs and many business opportunities
for Queenslanders.
The Galilee Basin in contrast to the Bowen Basin is more remote and requires a very significantinvestment in infrastructure for any mining project to proceed.
While most of the rail and port infrastructure that services the Bowen Basin was publiclyfinanced and built by the Queensland Government, proponents seeking to develop mines inthe Galilee Basin will need to meet the considerable capital costs of building significant railand port infrastructure before mining can begin.
In November 2103, the Queensland Government released the Galilee Basin Development Strategywhich identified a number of options to be considered by the Government to provideassistance to proponents to progress development of the Galilee Basin.
As we have been discussing, after due consideration of all of the options identified in theGalilee Basin Development Strategy, the Government has decided that it is prepared to considermaking Infrastructure Enabling Investments to Galilee Basin proponents who will meet themajority of the cost of providing the infrastructure necessary to open up the Galilee Basin.
I am pleased to confirm that the Queensland Government will consider making anInfrastructure Enabling Investment on commercial terms so long as that investment willenable world class efficient infrastructure to be built that will facilitate the early developmentof the Galilee Basin.
As you are aware, this Government is committed to negotiating with all Galilee Basin minersand infrastructure providers to identify Infrastructure Enabling Investment opportunities thatwill facilitate efficient common use infrastructure that will enable the benefits of developingthe resources of the Galilee Basin to be realised by Queenslanders.

Any Queensland Government investment in this enabling infrastructure will be on commercialterms and the government will be seeking to divest its interest as the mining projects in theGalilee Basin reach full production and the infrastructure is more fully utilised.
This reflects the Queensland Government's preparedness to support the coal industry, thevalue that the State of Queensland places on developing the Galilee Basin and recognition ofthe significant investment required to deliver these large greenfield projects and to stimulateeconomic development in the regions.
The Director-General of the Department of State Development, Infrastructure and Planning,Mr David Edwards and I will continue working with you in furthering our agreements andmaking an announcement on the 17 November 2014.
I look forward to a productive working relationship into the future.
