Adelaide Beach Management Review

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI (Leader of the Opposition) (14:36): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking a question of the Attorney-General as the minister responsible for the Beach Management Review.

Leave granted.

The Hon. N.J. CENTOFANTI: On the government's own Adelaide Beach Management Review website, it states:

As part of the state government's commitment to combat coastal erosion along Adelaide's coastline, an operational dredging trial was conducted between October and November 2024.

And:

The Department for Environment and Water is currently undertaking monitoring and evaluation of the dredging trial data and will report its findings to the government in the coming months.

My questions to the Attorney-General are:

1. Has the government received any reports on the findings of the dredging trial and, if so, will the government be making this report public?

2. If indeed the government hasn't received any reports, when is the government expected to receive the report on the dredging trial findings?

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector, Special Minister of State) (14:37): I thank the member for her question. With reports and advice on possible options, work continues within the Department for Environment and Water. In due course, the government expects to receive that formal advice. What the honourable member will no doubt be very appreciative and understandably happy about is, in the 2024-25 financial year, I am advised, there has been the largest volume of sand in living memory that has been deposited on West Beach in order to combat coastal erosion.
