Bellarine water security

Ms NEVILLE: On another matter, in my role as local member and Minister for Water I was recently pleased to mark the completion of the $2 million recycled water pipeline extension on the north Bellarine. This pipeline means recycled water can now be supplied to more local agricultural and horticultural businesses between Church and Scotchmans roads. The increased use of recycled water will boost and secure agricultural production, particularly in light of climate change, and create local jobs and importantly reduce reliance on drinking water. I thank Jamie Bennett of Bennetts winery and his staff for hosting the event.
