SA WATER CONCESSIONS

506 Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (9 July 2013). With reference to 2013-14 Budget Paper 6, p. 22 (actual reference is on page 21)—

1. How many people will be eligible for the increased water concessions from 1 July 2013?

2. How many water concessions will be provided to owner-occupiers and tenants?

The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light—Minister for Communities and Social Inclusion, Minister for Social Housing, Minister for Disabilities, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers): I have been advised:

In 2012-13, approximately 149,000 home owners and 32,300 tenants received the water concession. It is expected that similar numbers of water concession recipients will benefit from the increased concession amount in 2013-14.
