mount lofty Ranges water allocation plan

The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE (14:41): Supplementary: can the minister confirm, further to the Leader of the Opposition's question, firstly, whether the charge rate is different from the Western Mount Lofty Ranges to the Eastern Mount Lofty Ranges and, if so, why and, secondly, is the minister charging people per megalitre even if they do not use the water?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (14:42): The honourable member's question was answered in the first part of my answer to the Hon. Mr Ridgway, as is the answer to his second question. Go back and read Hansard. I said the NRM boards can raise levies on a range of water usages or a combination thereof.
