Wastewater Allocations

In reply to the Hon. J.S.L. DAWKINS (18 October 2016).

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 the following advice:

As part of developing the EOI a stakeholder engagement and communication strategy was implemented to ensure the horticulture industry and the wider community were fully consulted. This involved face-to-face meetings with a range of interested parties including the Virginia Irrigators Association, Horticultural Coalition, Vietnamese Farmers Associations and other industry representative organisations including AusVeg SA.

The EOI documentation was widely advertised through the local and national print media and published on the websites of the Adelaide Plains Council, SA Water and Tenders SA. The EOI was open for a period of 3 months during which time SA Water met with members of the local community, growers and grower representative organisations.

A committee, formed earlier by SA Water to work through community concerns regarding the storage of recycled water in the Northern Adelaide Plains, has also been appraised of the NAIS project and updated on the EOI process. The committee comprises key industry associations, horticultural irrigators, members of the local community and local government including:

Virginia Irrigators Association

Vietnamese Farmers Association (Old and New)

HortEx Alliance Inc.

Horticultural Coalition of SA

AusVeg SA

Adelaide Plains Council

City of Playford
