My understanding is that the purpose of identifying the short-listing of these three particular sites and the fact that it's recognised in legislation draws a line between the three short-listed sites, which have been subject to the extensive consultation, analysis and community surveys, and other historical nominations. Whilst the minister is not bound to declare any of the three sites, it's important to recognise that the sites have been nominated by landowners in good faith and have been short-listed for further assessment. As you rightly point out, the amendments will recognise the three short-listed sites of Lyndhurst, Napandee and Wallerberdina Station.
