GREENS MOTION: Fresh Water Embassy at Clayton Bay
On the 15th of July 2009, Mark moved the following motion:
The Hon. M. PARNELL (17:12): I move:
That this council —
1. Notes the establishment of the Fresh Water Embassy at Clayton Bay on 28 June 2009 and congratulates the River, Lakes and Coorong Action Group Inc. on this important initiative;
2. Notes that the Fresh Water Embassy was established to represent all the fresh water species, all the Ngarrindjeri totems and all the places and communities that will suffer as regulators, weirs, bunds and embankments divide up an interconnected ecosystem;
3. Calls on the Premier of South Australia and the Minister for Water Security to establish diplomatic relations between the Government of South Australia and the Fresh Water Embassy with a view to ensuring a fresh water solution to the crisis facing the River Murray, the Lower Lakes and the Coorong; and
4. Urges the state government to prioritise fresh water flows and bioremediation over engineering solutions such as the regulators currently being constructed at Clayton Bay and proposed for the Finniss River and Currency Creek.
