QuestionView source ↗
I refer the minister to the announcement early this year about the drilling of additional bores in the Yarragadee aquifer, with the aim of delivering an extra 15 gigalitres of water for this summer. Is the project on schedule, and will Perth enjoy the additional 15 gigalitres this summer? Hon NICK GRIFFITHS
AnswerView source ↗
My understanding is that the program is proceeding. I have regular advice on the drilling that is taking place, and I have not had any information other than that the project is proceeding as planned. I am not quite sure if the whole 15 gigalitres will be available this summer, but I will see how that goes. Hon Norman Moore: Will you find out and let me know? Hon NICK GRIFFITHS: Yes.
