J.M.A. LENSINK Legislative Council PORT NOARLUNGA AQUATIC RESERVE In reply to the Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (25 July 2007). The Hon. G.E. GAGO Legislative Council Minister for Environment and Conservation Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse Minister Assisting the Minister for Health PORT NOARLUNGA AQUATIC RESERVE The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Environment and Conservation, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister Assisting the Minister for Health): I have been advised: 1.	The Adelaide and Mount Lofty Ranges Natural Resources Management Board (AMLR NRM Board) established the Christie Creek Taskforce in late 2005. The City of Onkaparinga is represented on the taskforce. The role of the taskforce is to engage and work with the community and other stakeholders oversee and to provide advice to AMLR NRM Board on the development and implementation of integrated natural resource management strategies for the Christie Creek catchment. In particular, a key focus has been minimising impacts on the catchment and the coast and marine environment. The government is also engaged with the City of Onkaparinga on the Water Proofing the South project. It is anticipated that the project will increase the reuse of recycled water in the Onkaparinga region and help reduce the volume of stormwater and effluent discharged to the gulf. 2.	Adelaide's Living Beaches strategy covers the continuous stretch of sandy metropolitan coastline, from Kingston Park (Kingston Park headland) in the south, to North Haven in the north. Adelaide's Living Beaches strategy focuses on the management of the continuous sandy beach system. Port Noarlunga aquatic reserve is outside of the continuous sandy metropolitan coastline, and subject to different coastal process, and is therefore not covered by the strategy.
