QuestionView source ↗
With regard to the Swan and Canning Rivers will the Minister please advise -
(1) What effect has the oxygenation process had on the water quality of the Canning River and how has that effect been measured?
(2) Has a date been set to trial the oxygenation process in the Swan River? If so when and at what location?
(3) I refer to page 864 of the 2006-2007 Budget Papers and ask why is the budget to maintain critical river oxygen levels expected to almost treble from the budget allocation of $667,000 in 2006-2007 financial year to $1,657,000 in the 2007-2008 financial year?
(4) Why is the oxygenation process of the Swan River not being undertaken immediately given the numerous algal blooms that have occurred recently, the large numbers of fish that have died and the general affect on the water quality as a result?
(5) I refer to page 864 of the 2006-2007 Budget Papers and ask why has the waterways management budget allocation been cut from $1,044,000 in 2004-2005 to the estimated actual figure of $955,000 in 2005-2006 and then to just $864,000 in the 2006-2007 budget?
(6) There is a budget allocation for the communication of environmental information in 2006-2007 of $1,182,000 -
(a) How much of the $1,182,000 will be spent per agency?
(b) What guidelines or protocols have been put in place on how that money should be spent for each agency?
(c) What issues will be covered for each portfolio?
(d) How will the success of those communication projects be measured?

2) The trial is scheduled for the third quarter of 2006, depending on water conditions, and will be located on the eastern bank of the Swan River near Guildford Road Bridge, Guildford. 3) The increase in budget in 2007-08 is to fund the purchase, and operation of oxygenation equipment for the Swan River. 4) The Swan River oxygenation feasibility study is under way and a trial of an oxygenation unit is scheduled to begin later this year. Before the trial, the Swan River Trust has been collecting water quality data 24 hours a day from two monitoring stations in the river. This data will be used to compare oxygen levels before and during the oxygenation unit trial, and will then be incorporated into a computer model to determine the effectiveness of the trial and guide what future long-term equipment may be required. The process of obtaining approvals for the temporary oxygenation unit has been in-depth to ensure the main stakeholders have been fully consulted and had the opportunity to contribute to the management of the trial. 5) The budget allocation shown against the Waterways Management Service includes a proportion of support services costs - such as Trust Corporate Services - that are apportioned across the Trust's four operational services. The Environmental Management Service, for example, which includes the Swan Canning Cleanup Program, has been boosted and therefore attracts a greater proportion of support service costs, reducing those allocated against the Waterways Management Service. Other smaller adjustments are made in relation to approved carryovers. 6) (a) $1,182,000 is the Swan River Trust's communication of environmental information allocation. (b) The Trust's budget allocation is approved by the Swan River Trust Board, in line with the FAA Act and is audited annually by the Office of the Auditor General. (c) The Trust's Service 4 is Communication of Environmental Information. This service works to engage stakeholders and raise community awareness to achieve behaviour change throughout the river catchments. Initiatives within this Service include behaviour change programs such as Great Gardens, Heavenly Hectares and Ribbons of Blue as well as production of newsletters, information pamphlets annual reports and website management. (d) The Trust conducts annually an external Market Research project and reports to Key Performance Indictors for Efficiency and Effectiveness.
