VIC IMAGE - FOOD AND AGRICULTURE

Question No. 1256 Hon.

(b) What was the cost of each service provided by VIC IMAGE and who met such cost? Hon. B. T. PULL EN (Minister for Conservation and Environment) - The answer supplied by the Minister for Food and Agriculture is: The format in which records are kept in the department make preparation of material to respond to the honourable member's question extremely time consuming. For example, the AGMEDIA Service makes extensive use of VIC IMAGE, and to trace the nature of each individual service as well as the cost and the source of funds would require manual checking of individual invoices and I am not prepared to devote scarce resources to this task. Considerable effort has already been spent on examining ways to provide the information requested, however no simple solution has been discovered.

(b) To what extent does the government accept responsibility for the now~known excess fluoride ingestion by infants partaking of infant formulas prepared with fluoridated water? QUESTIONS ON NOTICE

1548 COUNCIL Tuesday, 28 April 1992

The Hon. M. A. L YSTER (Minister for Health) - The answer is: (a) The Health Department Victoria has the responsibility for developing the policies on fluoridation, including the information which is provided through health promotion. In the conclusions of the recent NH&MRC report the need is expressed to take measures to avoid the excessive intake of fluoride in some individuals. Three ways of achieving this goal are considered in the report one of which is the reduction of the fluoride concentration of some infant formulas. The Health Department Victoria has considered the conclusions of the report with regard to infant formulas. It supports the views expressed in the report that the reduction in fluoride content in some infant formulas should be achieved in the manufacturing process. The Health Department Victoria will be supporting the work of the newly appointed NH&MRC discretionary fluorides working group to achieve this change. (b) The NH&MRC report states: There is no evidence of adverse health effects in communities exposed to a combination of fluoridated water and contemporary discretionary sources of fluoride. The increase in total fluoride exposure in recent decades has been associated with some increase in the occurrence of dental fluorosis. I am advised that the dental fluorosis which does occur is mainly in the questionable to mild categories and is not readily discernible except when the teeth are dried and fluorosis is specifically looked for. While the intake of fluoride has risen in recent years, I am reassured by the NH&:MRC report that there is no evidence of adverse health effects. I am also reassured by the approach taken in the report to look to the future and to ensure that the fluoride intake dos not continue to rise but remains at the optimal level.

The former Minister for Conservation and Environment, the Honourable Steve Crabb, made one overseas trip during 1990-1991 and 1991-1992.

GEELONG STAFF - EMPLOYME~Tl POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION AND TKAINING

Question No. 1533 Hon. B. A. E. SKEGGS asked the Minister for Conservation and Environment, for the Minister for Employment, Post-Secondary Education and Training: Does any department or agency under the Minister's administration intend to dispose of staff in the Geelong region; if so - (i) how many; (ii) in what areas; (iii) over what period and for what reasons; (iv) what categories of staff are involved and how many in each category are to be dismissed; (v) what redundancy package is being offered; and (vi) how will superannuation entitlements be affected? Hon. B. T. PULLEN (Minister for Conservation and Environment) - The answer supplied by the Minister for Employment, Post-Secondary Education and Training is: The answer in respect of the following agencies: Office of the Adult Community and Further Education Board, which incorporates information from the Adult Migrant Education Services and the Council of Adult Education; the Department of Employment and Training, which incorporates information from the Office of Employment and the Office of the State Training Board; and the Office of Higher Education is that there is no program to specifically reduce staff in the Geelong region. Any such reductions are likely to be the result of more general activities such as individual staff taking up offers of enhanced resignation; or of decisions to streamline an area of an agency's operations. It should be noted that certain post-secondary institutions have autonomy over all or some of their staff in relation to selection and termination. Expansion in funding in these institutions, particularly in terms of student places, could lead to an increase in staffing levels. QUESTIONS ON NOTICE

ALGAE CONTAMINATION OF GEELONG RIVERS

Question No. 1606 Hon. B. A. E. SKEGGS asked the Minister for Conservation and Environment, for the Minister for Water Resources: (a) What was the cost (if any) to the Geelong community of the water released from the Bungal Dam to flush the green algae out of the Barwon River prior to the annual racing regattas scheduled for March and April, 1992? (b) In the event that there was no charge to the community, will the government ensure that the same amount of water is allowed to flow into the Moorabool River to prevent any further contamination by algae and to supply much needed water to adjacent properties? Hon. B. T. PULLEN (Minister for Conservation and Environment) - The answer supplied by the Minister for Water Resources is: (a) The Geelong and District Water Board has advised that the Geelong community incurred no additional costs associated with the release of water from Bungal Dam to help flush blue-green algae from the lower reaches of the Barwon River earlier this year. Bungal Dam is owned and operated by the West Moorabool Water Board which supplies water entitlements to both the Ballarat Water Board and the Geelong and District Water Board. Water is regularly released from the dam to the West Moorabool River in the drier months for use by the Geelong community. In addition, water is scoured from the bottom of the dam each autumn for quality control reasons. In 1992 these operational practices combined with an exceptionally high quantity of water in storage to enable water to be released for flushing the lower Barwon River. (b) No guarantee can be given that the same releases can be made in future because, despite strategies to manage the demand for water in both Ballarat and Geelong, the commitment on water from Bungal Dam for urban supplies is gradually increasing. At some stage, flushing releases could only be made at the opportunity cost of the water involved. Although this is the first recorded serious outbreak of blue-green algae in the Barwon River at Geelong, others have occurred further upstream where similar releases could not be made for flushing purposes. The government believes that the appropriate strategy for addressing the blue-green algae issue will include attention to both waterway and land use practices which contribute to its occurrence. The Conservation and Environment Committee of Cabinet will be examining how this can be included in the government's salinity control, LandCare and Whole of Catchment Management initiatives.

LAKE CONNEWARRE - SILTATION

Question No. 1605 Hon. B. A. E. SKEGGS asked the Minister for Conservation and Environment: What action has he taken or does he intend to take to provide the necessary funds to clear the siltation from Lake Connewarre in Geelong? Hon. B. T. PULLEN (Minister for Conservation and Environment) - The answer is: There is no action proposed to clear siltation from Lake Connewarre. The lake is part of the Lower Barwon estuary which drains the Barwon, Moorabool and Leigh rivers and is largely saline. Siltation within the lake has been a natural process, albeit accelerated since the mid-l800s as a result of mining and land clearing in the catchment. The Department of Conservation and Environment has recently completed an Interim Management Plan for the entire Lake Connewarre Wildlife Reserve. The plan recommends that no action be taken to alter the existing natural processes occurring within the Barwon River and Lake Connewarre as a result of river flow and tidal influence.

CHEMICAL STORAGE FACILITIES

Question No. 1603 Hon. B. A. E. SKEGGS asked the Minister for Conservation and Environment: In respect of Coode Island: (a) What is the government's preferred site? (b) What is the expected impact of the site on the road users of the Princes Highway and residents of the Geelong region or, alternatively, any other community adjacent to the site of this facility? Hon. B. T. PULLEN (Minister for Construction and Environment) - The answer is: (a) The preferred site is West Point Wilson. (b) Truck traffic frequency on the Geelong Freeway south of Werribee is expected to increase by less than 3 per cent as a result of the construction and use of the new chemical port facility at West Point Wilson. Overall, the facility should have a negligible effect on the total-cars and trucks - traffic volume (0.45 per cent increase). Any minor increase in traffic volumes generated by the facility will be offset by the addition of a third lane to the Princes Highway between Geelong and Melbourne. Construction of the additional lane was agreed to in the One Nation package outlined by the Prime Minister. At present, more than 150 000 people are resident within 5 kms of the Coode Island facility. The nearest residential concentration to the West Point Wilson facility is Lara which is 11 kms from the site. Other major communities such as Geelong and Werribee are respectively 14 kms and 24 kms distant from the site. On balance, considerably fewer residents and road users will be exposed to impacts arising from truck movements from a Point Wilson facility than from a Coode Island facility.
