Lower River Murray Levees

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:34): Further supplementary: is the minister saying that wind gusts of two knots past minimum threshold is an extreme weather event?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:35): I don't think that emerged from the original question but, be that as it may, what I am saying is that there is ongoing work required around levees and stabilisation, as well as dewatering. Privately owned levees as well as government-owned levees are involved in this and, as the minister in the other place has said, the government will continue to work with landholders with privately owned levees, and there are continuing discussions around future management of all the levees with different ownership models.
