(1) The Water Corporation's current Capital Works Budget includes projects in the Pilbara to the value of approximately $47.4 million in 2010-2011.
The Department of Water has allocated $54 000 for 2010-11, this is in addition to significant existing resources being directed towards this priority. These resources address source planning work for the Land Availability Working Group, source planning for town schemes, land-use planning and source investigations.
(2) The Water Corporation is addressing the security of the water supply in the East Pilbara
through two projects; one at the Yule River Borefield and one at the De Grey Borefield,
using $9.8 million over the next four years.
The Department of Water is working with other agencies and the private sector to
identify and develop source options to meet the longer term need in Port
Hedland. This may include options for the development of a new major source and
interconnecting pipelines, borefield expansion and desalination.
