MARINE FINFISH NURSERY — GERALDTON
285. Mr R.S. LOVE to the Minister for Fisheries:
I have a supplementary question. I am
sure that the people of the midwest would want a further explanation than the
minister's very short statement. Exactly what measures is the minister
taking to ensure that this project goes ahead so that these jobs can be created
and this industry kickstarted in the region?
The SPEAKER : Minister for
Fisheries, that was a little more of a statement, but the option is for you to
respond.

I am very happy to respond. The
department continues to work on that project. There is a partnership, of
course, with the private sector, Huon Aquaculture in Tasmania. We will continue
to work on it. The project was delayed as a consequence of the COVID-19
pandemic. We know that there are some engineering issues associated with the
intake and offtake pipework for the nursery, but we will continue to work on it
and make announcements in due course.
