House of Assembly Fifty-First Parliament, Third Session (51-3) 51 3 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Question Time Desalination Plant DESALINATION PLANT Mr HAMILTON-SMITH House of Assembly Waite Leader of the Opposition DESALINATION PLANT Mr HAMILTON-SMITH (Waite—Leader of the Opposition) (14:13): My question is again to the Minister for Water Security. How and when will the government guarantee that Mobil honours the agreement to remediate the Port Stanvac site, and did her $1.4 billion cost estimate yesterday include provision for the cost of remediation, the land and all the pipelines to and from the site, or was that figure for the desal plant only? The Hon. K.A. MAYWALD House of Assembly Chaffey Minister for the River Murray Minister for Water Security DESALINATION PLANT The Hon. K.A. MAYWALD (Chaffey—Minister for the River Murray, Minister for Water Security) (14:14): The proposal for the desalination plant and the negotiations that were undertaken with Mobil are for the northern site of the Mobil-owned land, not for the site where the refinery actually is. The issue of remediation has been considered and is incorporated in the $1.374 billion estimate.
