MANAGEMENT — LEGISLATION
800. Hon JACQUI BOYDELL to the minister representing the
Minister for Water:
I refer to the Minister for Water's
press release dated Thursday, 23 August 2018, and my previous question without
notice 646 asked on 13 June in this place.
(1) Given that we
are almost a year on from the press release, does the minister have a date that
we can expect the new bill to be tabled in Parliament?
(2) If no to (1),
can the minister provide an update on the consultation process by tabling
details of each stakeholder consultation?
(3) Will the
minister table the minutes of any meetings undertaken by the Water Resources
Reform Reference Group since Thursday, 13 June?
Hon ALANNAH MacTIERNAN
replied:
I thank the member for the
question. The Minister for Water has provided the following information.
(1) The bill will be introduced to
Parliament once the drafting process is completed.
(2) The response given to part (1)
of question without notice 646 remains current.
(3) No meetings have been held
since 13 June 2019.
