MOUNT BOLD RESERVOIR

Mrs REDMOND (Heysen) (15:20): My question is to the Minister for Water Security. Has the government now abandoned its promise to expand Mount Bold reservoir and, if so, will it now release for public scrutiny the review it commissioned into the project? In the 2007-08 budget, the government promised an $850 million expansion of Mount Bold. The cost of the project was later revised to $1.1 billion. In December 2007, a review into the project by GHD Pty Ltd was completed. Although the project is no longer included in the budget over the next four years, the government has so far refused to reveal the review.

The Hon. K.A. MAYWALD (Chaffey—Minister for the River Murray, Minister for Water Security) (15:20): The issue of future augmentations to the water supply will be announced with the water security plan to be released in the middle of this year.
