QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the proposed Peel Water Reuse Scheme promoted by local governments in the Peel Region, and I ask:
(a) has the Water Corporation been involved in, or with, this proposal; and
(i) if so, how does it support the project;
(b) will the Water Corporation sell or give the wastewater away from the Gordon Road treatment plant;
(c) the Peel Development Commission (PDC) claims that a team of government departments and agencies has been working closely with Alcoa to develop a regional water reuse scheme. If Alcoa is seeking climate independent water as suggested, why didn't PDC and the government agencies direct Alcoa to negotiate directly with the Water Corporation;
(d) how much water is to be supplied by the Gordon Road Wastewater Treatment Plant reuse project; and
(i) how much will be used by Alcoa; and
(ii) how much by other users;
(e) given the Water Corporation's 'Water for the Future' policy directions, why is this Agency not providing this water to Alcoa or any regional user as part of its normal business practice; and
(f) PDC claims that the Water Infrastructure Group, which is made up of local councils and industry players, has selected a preferred private sector operator of this project. Was this selection put out to tender; and
(i) if not, why not?
