ELIZABETH QUAY — WATER PARK — WATER
QUALITY
146. Ms R. SAFFIOTI to the Minister for
Planning:
I have a supplementary question. The
second part of the question was: can the minister confirm that he did no water
testing for the harmful Pseudomonas bacteria for the first two weeks? The third part was: what was the Premier's
response to the minister alerting him to water quality issues?

AnswerView source ↗

There was general acceptance that if
appropriate authorisation was not provided by the health department, the water
park would not open, and that was always the case. It was the Premier's
view and it was certainly my view and the Minister for Health's view.
Mr
P. Papalia interjected.
The
SPEAKER : Member for Warnbro!
Mr
J.H.D. DAY : In relation to whatever testing was done, it was according to
the requirements of the Department of Health, as we have debated in here
previously.
