National Water Grid Scheme

In reply to Mr BASHAM (Finniss) (4 July 2023). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries): I have been advised:

Funding of $13.78 million was available to Primary Industries and Regions South Australia for National Water Grid projects in 2022-23. Of this, $5.619 million was spent in 2022-23.

The difference between available funds and expenditure is primary due to a number of infrastructure projects that have either changed milestones or other changed circumstances.
