River Murray Flood

In reply to the Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) ().9 February 2023).

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries): I am advised:

15 November 2022 is the date that the flow at the SA/VIC border exceeded 100 gl/day which is defined as a 'low flood' event for the purpose of a classifying it as a natural disaster under the state and commonwealth definition for joint assistance under the disaster recovery funding arrangements.

In regard to the primary producer grants that are available, I can advise that River Murray flood preparation work prior to this date is being recognised in the claim assessment process.
