mount lofty Ranges water allocation plan

The Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (14:41): Supplementary: the minister described it as a levy for a specific purpose. I am advised that $200,000 of it is to be returned to another fund. Can the minister confirm that all of the money collected will be used for the purposes of managing the water resource, or are there surplus funds?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (14:41): I can confirm that the money that was raised will be used for the purposes outlined in the legislation.
