Coober Pedy District Council

In reply to Ms CHAPMAN (Bragg—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (18 May 2017).

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Treasurer, Minister for Finance, Minister for State Development, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy): Following a request from the District Council of Coober Pedy for support to enable them to enter into the agreement for the Coober Pedy Hybrid Renewable Power Station, I signed the Letter of Comfort on 29 March 2016.

I understand that the Minister for Local Government first wrote to council regarding his concerns on 4 August 2016, some four months later. He wrote to advise me of this on 5 September 2016.
