I refer to Question On Notice No. 2375, asked in the Legislative Council on 13 August 2019, by Hon Robin Chapple, in response to a question about the connectivity between Snake Creek, reduced water levels in adjacent pools, and the deaths of sawfish - wherein the Minister's response: “Current information indicates that the pools are not linked in the dry season when irrigation occurs. However, the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation is undertaking a detailed assessment of the surface water linkages between these sites as part of its triennial review of ecological monitoring data under the current water licence. This work will be peer reviewed by suitably qualified experts and will confirm whether or not there is any linkage between the sites.” - and I ask:
(a) has the Department finalised its detailed assessment of the surface water linkages between these sites as part of its triennial review of ecological monitoring data under the current water licence:
(i) if no to (a):
(A) why not; and
(B) when will this be completed; and
(ii) if yes to (a), will the Minister please table the assessment:
(A) if no to (a)(ii), why not; and
(b) if yes to (a), has the assessment been peer-reviewed by a suitable, qualified, external authority:
(i) if yes to (b), will the Minister please table this review of the assessment:
(A) if no to (b)(i), why not; and
(ii) if no to (b):
(A) why has the assessment not been subjected to external review?
(B) when will this review be completed?
