Question

1. How does the Lower Murray being declared 'critically endangered' practically changes how activities and infrastructure works will be affected? 2. Was any consideration given to ensuring projects designed to improve environmental outcomes are not unintentionally delayed or abandoned by the listing? 3. Will SDLAM projects receive a carve out under this advice? 4. The Minister's media release on the 12th January notes that Conservation Advice has been developed. Has that advice been finalised and provided to the Minister by the Committee? 5. Can you please table that advice.

Please see the attached answer.
