GNANGARA
GROUNDWATER AREAS ALLOCATION PLAN
452. Hon
ALISON XAMON to the minister representing the Minister for Water:
I refer to the Gnangara allocation plan, the foreword of
which states that it is due to be ''reviewed and updated by 2012'',
and which later states that the review will incorporate and build on the
recommendations of the Gnangara sustainability strategy.
(1) What is
the current status of this review?
(2) When is an
updated version of the plan expected to be released?
(3) Has the
intended review of this plan been delayed by the refusal to release the final
Gnangara sustainability strategy?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the member for some notice of the question.
(1) A review
of the 2009 Gnangara groundwater areas allocation plan is in preparation for
release later this year, as planned.
(2) The review
will identify any updates and, if necessary, a time frame for replacement of
the plan.
(3) No.
