Murray Mouth

Mr PEDERICK (Hammond) (15:40): My question is to the Minister for Transport. Is the government going to allow recreational boating access whilst the Murray Mouth is being dredged?

The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee—Minister for Transport and Infrastructure, Minister Assisting the Minister for Planning, Minister Assisting the Minister for Housing and Urban Development) (15:40): That's a good question from the member for Hammond. I would anticipate that there would be some level of boating restrictions around the works that are being undertaken during dredging operations, but the extent of those restrictions, whether it is complete or whether it is needing to give a number of metres of distance between recreational vessels and the dredging operations, I would have to check and come back to the house.
