River Murray Salinity Levels

Mr COWDREY (Colton) (15:03): My question is to the Minister for Housing. Is the minister aware of the report of the Independent Audit Group for Salinity released on 2 August 2024? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

Mr COWDREY: The report of the Independent Audit Group for Salinity found that the South Australian salt interception scheme, as managed by SA Water at Loxton and Pike River, did not meet their operational targets 92 per cent of the time during the 2022-23 period because of failure to repair flood damage.

The Hon. N.D. CHAMPION (Taylor—Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Minister for Housing Infrastructure, Minister for Planning) (15:04): I might take it on notice and report back to the house at a time in the future.
