Schools—sportsgrounds water use
(Question No 723)
Ms Bresnan asked the Minister for Planning, upon notice, on 18 March 2010 (redirected to the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation):
(1) Given the fact that the government has had to rationalise the watering of ovals and school grounds during the current drought conditions, how are ovals and school grounds determined as priority areas and therefore maintained by the department.
(2) Who makes the decision about what areas are determined as priority.
(3) Will the Minister provide a list of ovals and schools that have been determined as priority areas.
Mr Barr: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) Within the current drought period of 2004 – 2010 the government has not had to rationalise the watering of ovals. All sports ovals currently in operation are determined as priority, hence the watering regime has continued.
(2) In 2007, in anticipation of the introduction of level 4 restrictions, Sport and Recreation Services worked with industry representatives to prioritise grounds of use with Priority 1 ovals being the most essential to continue their activities. The exercise findings were never required to be implemented as stage 4 has not been required.
(3) The priority list from the 2007 exercise is attached. Should stage 4 or more stringent water restrictions be required this list will need to be renewed.
(A copy of the attachment is available at the Chamber Support Office).
