WATER SUPPLY — PORT HEDLAND
My supplementary question is: does the minister actually have any real plans to supply water to Port Hedland, other than asking residents to cut their water use by 11.5 per cent? Dr G.G. JACOBS

AnswerView source ↗

Water efficiency measures are very important. We understand that. We have made a commitment that those lots that have been identified at this point will be supplied with water. We are talking about new developments in the future. Under the process that I have just described, we will announce very shortly plans to supply water for the growth and expansion in Port Hedland and the Pilbara.
