Water Pricing
The Hon. R.L. BROKENSHIRE (14:56): A supplementary question. I am very interested in the South-East, but my question was about the Western Mount Lofty Ranges. Is the minister aware that there will be no water levy in the next 12-month period for irrigators in the Western Mount Lofty Ranges?
The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (14:56): As I said, that matter is left up to the board to determine in consultation with its local communities. The board has options of setting levies or doing a blend of levies, as I have just outlined. That is what the consultation with communities is all about: working out the best way of paying for water management in those areas.
