Fleurieu Peninsula Water Quality

In reply to Mr BASHAM (Finniss) (25 June 2025). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. N.D. CHAMPION (Taylor—Minister for Housing and Urban Development, Minister for Housing Infrastructure, Minister for Planning): I have been advised:

Approximately $1 million in expenditure has been allocated to close out the Kangaroo Island desalination project, through items including control optimisation, land maintenance and environmental monitoring. The remainder of the projected spend is allocated to operational risks, which will be held by the project until the completion of the defects liability period.

The Fleurieu Water Quality Improvement project has a budgeted spend for 2025-26 of $864,000. This project has now been closed following the rectification of all outstanding defects.
