QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the Minister's answer to my question on notice No. 12 lodged during Budget Estimates on 6 June 2012, and ask —
(1) Are the 'Perth-Superficial Swan' and 'Perth-Leederville' aquifers the only aquifers supplying water to Bunbury?
(2) Noting that these are over-allocated and that the greater Bunbury area is one the fastest population growth areas in Australia, are there other aquifers that could supply water to Bunbury rather than over-exploiting these two aquifers?
