MURRAY RIVER, LOWER LAKES

Mr PEDERICK (Hammond) (14:53): My question is to the Minister for Water Security. Can the minister guarantee that all residents currently dependent on the Lower Lakes for stock and domestic water supply will receive supply from the proposed federally-funded pipelines?

The Hon. K.A. MAYWALD (Chaffey—Minister for the River Murray, Minister for Water Security) (14:53): This is another fantastic initiative of the state government. We have applied through our Murray Futures program to the federal government for funding for an integrated pipeline system around the Lower Lakes, which includes the provision of stock and domestic water to the Narrung Peninsula, the Poltalloch Peninsula and also the Raukkan community. It also provides stock and domestic water to the Langhorne Creek community and an irrigation pipeline to both Currency and Langhorne creeks. The details of the route of the pipeline are being worked out with the communities in those areas, and we will endeavour to make sure that the maximum number of people possible can be connected into the pipeline.
