CHOWILLA FLOODPLAIN

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (14:28): I have supplementary question. Does the minister believe that the final project cost will be in the order of $54.43 million? Apart from the Robertson's issue, which is not what I asked about, has the engineering firm York Civil lodged a request for additional funds and if so, how much and when will they be provided?

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation) (14:29): I do not have any information before me at the moment which tells me that York Civil have lodged an increase for funds. However, I will go back to my department and interrogate people assiduously about that question and seek to bring back a response for the honourable member.
