WELLINGTON WEIR

Mr PEDERICK (Hammond) (15:22): Can the Minister for Water Security confirm that tenders have been called for the supply of 500,000 tonnes of granular rock for the construction of a weir at Wellington?

The Hon. K.A. MAYWALD (Chaffey—Minister for the River Murray, Minister for Water Security, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Small Business, Minister Assisting the Minister for Industry and Trade) (15:22): No, I cannot confirm that. I will see whether any tenders have been called. It may be just to get prices as part of the investigation into the temporary weir. No decision has been made on the building of a temporary weir at this point and no decision will be made until June at least, and those states still stand today.
