Green Industry Fund

In reply to Dr CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (25 September 2018). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. D.J. SPEIRS (Black—Minister for Environment and Water): I have been advised:

The Green Industry Fund benefits the entire community including councils and is made up primarily of 50 per cent of the solid waste levy received by the Environment Protection Authority pursuant to section 17(3) of the Green Industries SA Act 2004. The remainder contributes to funding the operations of the Environment Protection Authority (45 per cent) and programs funded from the Environment Protection Fund (5 per cent).
