The Minister for Water has provided the following response.
(a) Not without a significant upgrade.
(b) Not applicable.
(c) The lots at Hamlet Grove were approved by the Western Australian Planning Commission in 1985 without a requirement for a reticulated water supply. The water main that runs along the Gibb River Road was not designed to service Hamlet Grove. Without a significant upgrade, additional connections would cause unacceptably low water pressure in other parts of the scheme, in particular the Mowanjum community, during peak demand.
(d) Not applicable.
