Sand Dredging

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:21): My question is to the Minister for Primary Industries regarding infrastructure from the SARDI research centre. In light of the information that I have just presented to the Attorney, is the Minister for Primary Industries aware of or has the minister been briefed about such damage to water intake pipe No. 3, and if not, will she commit to this chamber that in light of this information she will seek a briefing from her department on this issue as a priority?

The Hon. C.M. SCRIVEN (Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development, Minister for Forest Industries) (14:22): I thank the honourable member for her question. I have been made aware that there is potentially some damage to one of the pipes. That, of course, is part of the analysis of the situation at West Beach, and in terms of maintenance and so on, that is part of the ongoing approach that has been taken.
