Site Contamination, Hendon Area

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:40): In particular, my question was: what subsequent warnings have been provided since May 2012 for residents not to use bore water and, in particular, residents who might have moved into the area since 2012? How were they notified?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (14:40): My advice is all communications with residents is up on the EPA website. The honourable member can download that for himself.

The Hon. D.W. Ridgway: So, if you are a new resident, you've got to look on the website?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER: I am advising the honourable member that I don't have before me information about how many times bore water information was put out. All communications to the area are on the EPA website. They are open and transparent. But, for his sake, I will undertake to bring those communications to his attention.
