Lower Limestone Coast Water Allocation Plan

In reply to the Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (15 October 2015).

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change):

1. No. If it is resolved that the delivery supplement or specialised production requirement allocation is to be granted, the allocation will apply for the full year. Irrigators will not incur a penalty but are required to remain within their total annual water allocation for the water use year.

2. If it is resolved that the delivery supplement or specialised production requirement allocation is to be granted, a levy will be applied to these additional allocations irrespective of when in the water year the allocations are issued.
