HOLDFAST SHORES BREAKWATERS
In reply to Hon. M.J. ELLIOTT (16 February).The Hon. DIANA LAIDLAW: The initial excavation costs, which included extension to the breakwater and associated works, was part of a $3 million contribution paid by the Government to the Holdfast Shores Project. This work was undertaken between October 1996 and September 1997.
Subsequent maintenance dredging (November 1997-March 1998) cost $420 000, and was undertaken by the Department of Administrative and Information Services.
Between September 1998-February 1999 Transport SA, which now has responsibility for maintenance, spent $243 000 dredging mainly seagrass and some sand.
