Environment Protection Authority

In reply to Mr SPEIRS (Bright) (1 August 2017). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change): I have been advised:

During 2016-17, no members of the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) Board were paid travel allowances in order to attend board meetings, whether that be from interstate or in South Australia.

EPA Board members travelled intrastate to Port Lincoln and Mount Gambier during the financial year to undertake community and stakeholder consultations. The EPA covered the costs associated such as for flights and accommodation however no additional allowances were provided to members.
