Eyre Peninsula Desalination Plant

Mr TELFER (Flinders) (15:10): My question is to the Minister for Water. Is SA Water using or planning to use seismic testing as part of their process for a desalination plant at Billy Lights Point, Port Lincoln and, if so, does the minister have concerns about any potential impacts on the local environment and aquaculture activities?

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Deputy Premier, Minister for Industry, Innovation and Science, Minister for Defence and Space Industries, Minister for Climate, Environment and Water) (15:11): I have seen some concern raised about some seismic testing that is being proposed, but rather than speak not having sufficient expertise to respond, I will take that question on notice.
