I refer to the answer to question on notice No. 4776, in which 232 licensees in the Gnangara Groundwater Management Area were identified as failing to report their meter readings in accordance with their water licence conditions, and I ask -
(1) Other than formal warning letters, what compliance actions (if any) has the Department of Water engaged in regarding these missing meter readings?
(2) Please specify how many licensees have belatedly complied with the metering and reporting condition of their licence?
(3) How many of these newly reported meter readings showed licensees extracting more water than they were entitled to?
(4) Have any fines been imposed for failing to report meter readings?
(5) If yes to (4), please specify how many fines, and the value of the fines?
