QuestionView source ↗
I refer to page 2 of the Department of Water's 2011-2012 Annual Report which states that 82 submissions were made to the review of the Department's First in first served policy, and ask —
(1) How many of these submissions criticised First in first served as a method of releasing unallocated water?
(2) Will the public have opportunity to comment on the draft policy that is being developed following the review of the First in first served policy?
(3) If yes to (2), what month is it expected that this will occur?
(4) If no to (2), why not?
