(a) Yes, the Department of Agriculture and Food is aware that during the late 1990s and early 2000s, there was an irrigation proposal in the Fitzroy Valley by Mr John Logan. I understand that any correspondence would have been between Mr Logan and the Department of State Development.
(b-h) These further questions should therefore be referred to the Minister for State Development.
