Eyre Peninsula Long Term Plan Exec Summary MEETING FUTURE DEMAND SA WATER’S LONG TERM PLAN FOR EYRE REGION November 2008 Front cover image: Port Neill, Eyre Peninsula SAW12863 Long Term Plan Report Cover A4 ƒ.indd 2 26/11/08 11:02:10 AM Forward Meeting Future Demand – SA Water’s Long Term Plan for Eyre Region is an initiative of the South Australian Government, through SA Water, to establish a framework to ensure Eyre Peninsula has a secure water supply to meet increases in demand for the next 25 years. The Long Term Plan presents a number of recommendations to better manage water systems and develop new sources of water for this important region of our State. Investigations into demand projections undertaken in developing this plan indicate a new source of water will be required for the region in 2014/15. However, these projections will be reviewed annually and the timing for a new resource assessed accordingly. Through careful planning we will know if we have to act sooner and what the best options will be. Desalination and an expansion of the Iron Knob – Kimba pipeline are two of the recommendations we will more fully investigate. Reviewing this information every year is a critical part of the planning process. It means our delivery of water security for Eyre Peninsula is based on the most up‐to‐date, sound data we have available. We will need to continue our monitoring and planning ahead, taking into account changes brought about by climate change, population growth and other development needs of Eyre Peninsula. Community engagement has been integral to the development of the Long Term Plan with a number of information sessions, forums and opportunities for comment included in the process. This has resulted in the Eyre Peninsula community having significant input into, and providing their endorsement of, the Long Term Plan. The Eyre Peninsula, along with the rest of the State, is experiencing the worst drought conditions in recorded history. While this severe drought has reminded us our climate can have devastating impacts, we also have to ensure we are prepared for the longer term impacts of climate change, including likely reduced rainfall and reduced inflows into farm dams and waterways. This Long Term Plan is an adaptive management tool that can respond to changing environments to ensure security of water supply to the Eyre Region for the next 25 years and beyond. Hon Karlene Maywald Minister for Water Security November 2008 The Plan in Action SA Water’s Long Term Plan for Eyre Region (Long Term Plan) is a new initiative intended to establish a framework for water security that is responsive to changing circumstances currently being experienced through drought conditions and climate change. The Long Term Plan provides for an annual review process in order to eensur such future changes are addressed and appropriate adjustments made to the Long Term Plan if required. In this context, the Long Term Plan has been structured as an adaptive management tool able to respond to changes in climate conditions, resource allocations and increases in demand. Since the writing of theg Lon Term Plan, changes to the condition of the groundwater resource at Polda Basin have been identified. The long term decline in recharge has had an impact on the Polda Basin that was unknown at the time of writing the Long Term Plan. Subsequent to the completion of the draft Long Term Plan the Department for Water, Land and Biodiversity Conservation (DWLBC) advised SA Water on 7 July 2008 that the annual water allocation from Polda Basin had been reduced from 326.4 ML/a to 283 ML/a, in response to reduced recharge. Given this, and in accordance with the fundamental principle of the Long Term Plan that assumptions will be reviewed as necessary, investigations have commenced into the status of the other groundwater basins in the southern Eyre Peninsula region, including the Lincoln and Uley South Basins. Salinity profiles taken from the production bores in the Lincoln Basin revealed a significantly reduced extent of fresh water in the lens. Results for Uley South showed no significant change in the available resource. As a consequence of the completion of these investigations, a number of initiatives are already in place and will contribute to a review of the Long Term Plan in 2009 in linee with th recommended annual review process. These initiatives include the following: • SA Water has temporarily ceased pumping from Polda Basin (other than for emergency situations) until a full assessment of the condition of the Basin can be undertaken. • SA Water is planning to reduce the amount of water it pumps from the Lincoln Basin. DWLBC, the Eyre Peninsula Natural Resources Management Board (EPNRMB) and SA Water have commenced a comprehensive monitoring program over the Uley South Basin to cover knowledge gaps in relation to the salt water/ freshwater interface at the coast in order to inform the 2009 review process. SA Water has commenced work on the recommendations contained in the Long Term Plan to investigate desalination and system enhancement as they relate to security of the potable supply. This Long Term Plan estimates that a new water source will be required in approximately 2014/15 based on a medium demand projection and 2011/12 based on a high demand projection. This timing was based on a range of assumptions, including SA Water’s existing allocations from the groundwater basins and assumptions regarding future demands. The work currently underway in response to the ongoing drought conditions will inform the 2009 review process and necessary adjustments will be made to the Long Term Plan if required. This may include changes to the timing for a new resource dependent upon the outcomes of the monitoring and research work under the combined management of DWLBC, EPNRMB and SA Water.

Institutionalisation of Aborigines, under the guise of assimilation and protection policies, was only abandoned in.the lg7Os. It is therefore important to understand the implications of these policies for Aborigines and Australian society in general. I investigate the affect of institutionalisation on Aborigines, questioning the assumption tl.at they were passive victims forced onto missions and government stations and kept there as virtual prisoners.
