FLOODS — TOPSOIL REPLACEMENT
797. Hon NEIL THOMSON to the parliamentary secretary
representing the Minister for Regional Development:
I refer to my question without notice 641 and the minister's
response stating that $240 000 had been contributed to secure $1.3 million in
federal funding for flood preparedness in the Gascoyne flood plain.

the amounts that have been budgeted for town levees, the Carnarvon Airport
levee flood gates, geotechnical investigations, hydraulic modelling, the river
care floodway natural infrastructure upgrade, and the project audit and
acquittal costs?
(2) Will the
hydraulic modelling be comprehensive for the horticultural areas and
surrounding flood plain?
(3) When will all the hydraulic modelling be completed?
(4) Will the modelling be made public?
