Natural Resources Management Levy

Mr GRIFFITHS (Goyder) (15:03): My question is to the Minister for Local Government. Can the minister confirm that he has received a letter from the Town of Walkerville, dated 22 April 2016, advising that the council does not support an increase in the NRM levy, and advise what action he has taken to represent the concerns of this council and other councils in South Australia who are required to collect a government-demanded NRM increase of up to 150 per cent in the 2016-17 year?

The Hon. G.G. BROCK (Frome—Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Local Government) (15:04): To answer the question, no, I cannot recall. I can double-check that, but this is not under my portfolio; it is that of a minister in the other place.
