ARTIFICIAL REEF — CARNARVON
257. Ms M. BEARD to the Minister for Fisheries:
I refer to the long-awaited
Carnarvon artificial reef, a local priority project that would bring tourists
and jobs to Carnarvon, and the noncompliant reef modules still located in the
yard in Carnarvon.
(1) Can the
minister advise when tenders for the new reef modules will be announced, and
that this is a fully funded project?
(2) Can the minister advise an
expected completion date for the artificial reef project?

(1)–(2) It has been my lucky question time! I thank the
member for the question. Yes, the member can expect tenders to be
announced very shortly for the artificial reef at Carnarvon. I know that this
will be a great boon for fishers in the Carnarvon area and will add to the
tourism attractions that that fantastic community has to offer. It is just a pity that it has had to
overcome some of the run-down commentary from members opposite over so many
years in this place. That has really hampered its efforts to build its tourism
numbers . But, our artificial reef will
add to the marine tourism offering and the fishing offering in Carnarvon very shortly.
