Lower Limestone Coast Water Allocation Plan

In reply to the Hon. D.W. RIDGWAY (Leader of the Opposition) (22 September 2015).

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Climate Change): The Minister for Water and the River Murray has received this advice:

1. Eligibility for a delivery supplement component was ascertained through the process of application, therefore an exact number cannot be determined. Some licence holders who may have qualified for this component did not apply.

2. This change of policy was made by the South East NRM Board when developing the Lower Limestone Coast Water Allocation Plan. Until volumetric conversion occurred in this plan, which I approved on 26 November 2013, there was no policy on how delivery supplements would be allocated in the Lower Limestone Coast Prescribed Wells Area.
