Given the way you've just described their communities, I'm not sure you'd be welcome back there. I'm advised that the communities of Leonora and Brewarrina were both advised that their alternative site nominations would be considered if any of the short-listed sites did not progress. To date, the communities have not had the opportunity for the in-depth analysis that the other three sites have had. It is also the government's policy to try to come up with a centrally co-located intermediate-level waste storage facility with a low-level waste storage disposal facility. Whilst those two communities have been considered in the mix, my understanding is that they've been advised that, if none of the sites currently being considered are deemed suitable, they would potentially be considered.
