SA Water Regulatory Business Plan

Mr COWDREY (Colton) (14:31): My question is to the Minister for Climate, Environment and Water. Has SA Water or ESCOSA considered any of the government's announced land releases as part of the SA Water 2024-28 Regulatory Business Plan?

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Deputy Premier, Minister for Industry, Innovation and Science, Minister for Defence and Space Industries, Minister for Climate, Environment and Water) (14:32): I'm not sure that I'm responsible for ESCOSA, and therefore—

The Hon. J.A.W. Gardner: What about SA Water?

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE: —I think the question might be slightly misframed. The regulatory proposal that SA Water has given to ESCOSA—

The Hon. J.A.W. Gardner: Did SA Water provide it to them?

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE: What SA Water has provided to ESCOSA is a plan to spend $365 million on developments in the northern suburbs. As has been mentioned previously, there is a project—

Mr Cowdrey interjecting:

The SPEAKER: Order!

The Hon. S.E. CLOSE: —currently being undertaken, led through the planning area but with Treasury and SA Water actively involved, as well as Premier and Cabinet, to work through the way in which the sequencing is best undertaken so that that $365 million is spent in the most efficient way to make sure that the maximum outcome for housing for young people is able to be delivered. That proposal sits within the regulatory proposal that has been given to ESCOSA. ESCOSA has issued a draft determination, but recognising that that proposal is a section 6 and therefore is something that the government has simply said must happen.
