In reply to Hon. M.J. ELLIOTT (29 March 2001) and answered by letter on 10 August 2001.

The Hon. DIANA LAIDLAW:

1. The anticipated cost this financial year for sand removal and movement, and seaweed removal at Holdfast Shores and Adelaide Shores is $2.2m, which includes a one-off cost of $600 000 for sand transfer directly from Glenelg to West Beach, as directed by the Minister for Environment and Heritage.

2. The anticipated budgeted figure for the 2001-02 financial year is $1.726m, compared with the approximation of $1.5m which I provided in response to the honourable member's earlier question. As I indicated at the time, there are many variables in this sand and seagrass operation-and $1.5m was Transport SA's best estimate utilising the information it had available at the time. Consultants Brown and Root Pty Ltd have now independently reviewed all aspects of Transport SA's sand and seagrass management, and have estimated on-going costs of $1. 7m per annum.
