QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the attached Water and Rivers Commission Map of the catchment areas covered by a proposed 900 Kilometre Arterial Channel system, and I ask -
(1) Can the Minister provide the figures for the total value of agricultural production in each of the Avon, Yilgarn and Lockhart catchments as outlined by the map boundaries over the last ten years?
(2) Can the Minister advise how many primary producers there are operating in each of these catchments?
(3) Can the Minister provide a map of the extent of acid soils and acid soil risk within the areas outlined?
(4) Can the Minister provide any estimates of the projected losses of production values due to salinity from the area outlined?

Catchment Gross Value of production, 1990/91 ($ million) Gross Value of production. 1995/96 ($ million) Gross Value of production, 2000/01 ($ million) Avon 285.7 499.0 444.7 Yilgarn 174.1 363.1 293.3 Lockhart 303.7 616.5 432.6 Source: ABS Census of Agricultural Establishments, latest being 2000/01. 2.

The actual extent of soil acidity as determined by commercial farm testing and reported in the National Land and Water Resources Audit show that the majority of the topsoil pH for the Avon, Yilgarn and Lockhart is between 4.8 – 5.5. The Department of Agriculture is working with UWA and GRDC to more accurately define the current extent of sub soil acidity and other sub soil constraints affecting agricultural production. The potential risk of sub soil acidity as determined through the Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Assessment Group is as follows: &n bsp; &nbs p; Catchment Future Risk of sub-soil acidity (ha) Percentage Avon 1,109,000ha 38% Yilgarn 569,000ha 22% Lockhart 491,000 ha 18% This corresponds with the attached map that shows the variation in sub soil acidity risk for land resource sub regions that are generally subsets of the Avon, Yilgarn and Lockhart catchments. Acidity risk is presented as the percentage of area of the zone at risk. The darker green represents the higher percentage area at risk, the lightest green the lowest percentage area at risk. 4. There are no economic analyses available looking at the projected production losses from salinity specifically for the Avon, Yilgarn and Lockhart areas. The projected areas likely to be affected by salinity at some future time, which may be more than 100 years in some cases (based on the Land Monitor assessments) are as follows: Avon 787,000 ha Yilgarn 717,700 ha Lockhart 522,000ha Applying the gross value of production (based on ABS 1999 figures) to these areas an estimate of the projected annual gross value of production losses are: Avon $1 27 million Yilgarn $116 million Lockhart $ 84 million
