Water––supply
(Question No 2966)
Mrs Kikkert asked the Minister for Trade, Industry and Investment, upon notice, on 3 April 2020 (redirected to the Minister for Environment and Heritage):
(1) When will the Territory’s population outgrow the current water storage/supply capacity, according to government models, and what will be the population of the ACT at that point in time.
(2) What plans are in place to increase the Territory’s water storage and/or water supply capacity in anticipation of this expected growth in population.
(3) Will current dams be enlarged or future dams built as part of these plans; if not, why not and where will the water supply come from.
