AnswerView source ↗
(1) There are two aquifers at Yarragadee - northern and south west Yarragadee. Does the member refer to both or only one of them? If only one, please specify which. (2) Providing the information in the time required is not possible. To provide the list of licence holders for the south west Yarragadee would take approximately one week and to provide the list for the northern Yarragadee would require more than two weeks; therefore I request that the honourable member place the question on notice.
