CENTOFANTI Legislative Council Leader of the Opposition SA Drought Hub In reply to the Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) ().30 October 2024). The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN Legislative Council Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development Minister for Forest Industries SA Drought Hub The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries): I am advised: The team leader, drought hub node comprises two functions, one being the node coordinator and the other being team leader for all node coordinators across the state. The Loxton node coordinator travels to the region to fulfil the commitments related to the node coordinator role. I am informed in recognition of the importance of this role, PIRSA has placed a senior staff member in the team leader role to ensure effective performance across the node coordinators, absorbing any additional costs. Engagement in the Murraylands and Riverland region continues to be effectively delivered by the hub through a combination of the team leader travelling to the region and the presence in the region of other PIRSA and hub staff.
