QuestionView source ↗
(1) Is the Minister concerned at the volume of nutrients entering the Murray River and the resulting algal blooms and fish deaths that have occurred over recent summers?
(2) If not, and recognising that the Water Corporation has provided a sewerage main to the area so that the Ravenswood Hotel can connect to the reticulated sewerage system, what action will the Minister take to require the Hotel, as a potential major contributor of nutrients to the Murray River, to connect to the main?
(3) Is the Minister aware that the caravan park adjoining the hotel is also a potential major nutrient contributor to the Murray River and what action will the Minister take to require the caravan park to connect to the sewer main as a matter of urgency?

2. I suggest the member refer this question to Minister Griffiths. 3. Yes, the Ravenswood Caravan Park is recognised as a likely nutrient contributor to the Murray River as it has shared a common septic system with the hotel and motel. There is no need to take further action as the caravan park is in the process of being connected to reticulated sewerage.
