I thank Hon Murray Criddle for some notice of this question. (1) The saleyards are expected to be self-sufficient with regard to water needs. The extensive roof of the saleyard complex will be a major catchment and water will be stored in tanks. Runoff water will also be harvested from the saleyard buffer area and stored in dams for truck-wash services. (2)-(3) No. Costs are being reassessed.
