PATAWALONGA RIVER LOCK GATES

Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (14:47): My question is to the Minister for Environment and Conservation. What progress has been made in developing plans to build new lock gates at the mouth of the Patawalonga at Glenelg? In May last year the Department of Water, Land and Biodiversity Conservation funded GHD Pty Ltd to carry out an investigation to replace the old vertical lift gates with centre pivot gates similar to those at the Barcoo Outlet.

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Minister for Environment and Conservation, Minister for Early Childhood Development, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister Assisting the Premier in Cabinet Business and Public Sector Management) (14:48): That is an excellent question, and I will bring back a report to the house.
