job ad - senior environmental officer

This job ad extracted below is interesting in light of the SK extension document. The ad was posted on the Aust Government Job search yesterday and had previously been posted on the jobs in mining site on 21 August (perhaps no takers or enough qualified takers?). Baralaba expansion is referred to like it is a fait accompli. Hopefully the ad is not just advertising puff. Perhaps though the further SK extension is viewed as a fallback or short term necessity whilst other things are being finalised.... Who would know???
