QuestionView source ↗
(1) I refer to page 637, Output 4: Rural Water Supply Assistance and specifically to a transfer of rural water and drought management funds from 2002-03 to 2003-04 to meet agreed commitments with rural communities and ask why were those funds transferred from 2002-03 to 2003-04, what are those agreements and what communities and projects are they for?
(2) I refer to the Major Initiatives for 2003-04 for Waterways on page 642 which states that the Statewide Algal Strategy (SAS) will be implemented in partnership with the National Action Plan (NAP) on Salinity and Water Quality and ask if there is no funding in this State Budget for the NAP, will the SAS continue to be funded and if so, what is the budget allocation?
(3) I refer to the Major Initiatives for 2003-04 for Salinity on page 642 which shows that the Water and Rivers Commission will implement relevant parts of the State Salinity Action Plan, with a focus on incentive schemes for farmers and ask will the Minister provide details of the types of schemes and the cost of each, and state the line item in the budget that accounts for this allocation?
(4) I refer to the Major Initiatives for Salinity on page 642 and specifically the engineering solutions for salinity and ask what are these solutions and in what regions will they be applied?
(5) What is the State’s contribution to the Natural Heritage Trust 2 in 2003-04?
(6) I refer to the table on page 636 for Output 3: Regulation, Licensing and Community Awareness which states that the decrease in 2003-04 expenditure is part of an overall $2 million reduction in appropriation and ask which services will be reduced as a result and in which regions or offices?

The Pastoral Water Grants Scheme operates in a similar way, however, pastoralists are allowed 2 years to complete their works program. (2) There are funds in the State Budget that are part of the State’s proposed contribution to the National Action Plan for Salinity and Water Quality. The Water and Rivers Commission plans to expend up to $170,000 in 2003/04 on further developing and implementing the State Algal Strategy. (3) Under the State Salinity Plan, the Commission’s primary role is to protect and restore key water resources. This is mainly achieved through the implementation of measures to reduce stream salinity in five water resource recovery catchments – the Collie, Denmark, Warren, Kent and Helena Catchments In these recovery catchments the Commission works in partnership with local communities and shares the costs of implementing on-the-ground actions. Items covered by these cost sharing schemes include: · Perennials plantings · Summer forage plantings · Remnant vegetation fencing · Surface water management · Native revegetation · Saltland revegetation · Water way fencing · Stock crossings · Sawlog fencing · Alley farming demonstrations · Biodiversity plantings · Hardwood plantings for sawlogs The Commission’s budget for the cost sharing scheme in the 2003/2004 financial year is $471,883, which is comprised of $227,183 for the Kent/Denmark catchments, $139,350 for the Warren catchment, and $105,350 for the Collie Catchment. There is no specific line item in the 2003/04 Budget Papers for the cost-sharing scheme. It is included under the broader heading of Output 6 - Water Resource Information, Protection Plans and Works. (4) The Engineering solutions being considered for application includes: deep drainage, groundwater pumping, relief wells, syphon bores, and surface water management. The decision on the selection of sites for the project will be made in partnership with the Natural Resource Management (NRM) Regional Groups. A call of proposals has just closed and submissions are currently being assessed in consultation with the NRM Regions Groups – Avon, Northern Agriculture, South West and South Coast. The decision on the successful projects will be based on how the proposals best fit the criteria set out in the application package, rather than on a regional basis. (5) Under the NHTII Bilateral Agreement, the State must match in kind or in cash the Commonwealth Government’s contribution. The Commonwealth has committed approximately $9.11 million in 2003-04 to better manage and protect Western Australia’s water, vegetation, wetlands, and coasts. (6) The Commission’s $2.0 million reduction has been broadly applied across all elements of its business. The bulk of the reduction (approximately $900,000) is to be applied to Corporate Services and will have no effect on the delivery of core business products and services. The Commission will ensure that management efforts in high priority areas, such as water allocation, will be maintained.
