Gold Creek golf club
(Question No 1063)
Mr Cornwell asked the Minister for Planning, upon notice:
(1) What is the government's involvement with the golf club at Gold Creek;
(2) How will water be managed for the greens under Stage 3 restrictions.
Mr Corbell
: The answer to the member's question is as follows:(1) The Government owns the Gold Creek Country Club Pty Ltd.
(2) Water for the greens will predominately be derived from the dam on the golf course. This dam recovers stormwater from the Harcourt Hill development. As such it is not subject to Stage 3 Water Restrictions. Not withstanding this, the Gold Creek Country Club will carefully manage its water.
Should there be insufficient water in the dam to last the summer the Golf Course will abide by the restrictions on water use as advised by ACTEW.
I understand that an exemption has been sought to ensure that safety works currently underway at the Golf Course can be completed.
