A
Welcome
everyone
to
the
water,
waste
and
energy
committee
meeting
808
wednesday,
the
8th
of
september.
We
have
a
full
contingent
of
committee
and
we
welcome
councillor
owen
jones
and
councillor
patterson
as
guests.
A
We
have
only
one
starred
item
on
the
agenda,
but
we
usually
do
start
the
reports.
As
financial
reports
has
anyone
got
any
questions
on
any
of
the
report
items?
If
not,
we
can
star
them
if
everyone's
in
agreeance
yep
6.1
to
6.7
the
financial
reports.
Unless
anyone
wants
to
keep
something
unstarred
on
one
of
those
items,
no
okay,.
A
Okay,
we've
got
confirmation
of
no
no
leave
of
absence
everyone's
here
council
macdonald
you're
with
us.
I
am
okay,
welcome.
A
We
do
have
a
correction
on
the
minutes
and
rebecca's
just
going
to
put
that
on
the
screen
on
the
change
recommendation
on
6.1
in
the
minutes.
It
said
I
was
the
only
one
who
voted
for
it,
but
I
did
have
one
other.
It
was
council,
macdonald
voted
for
it
as
well,
so
we'll
make
that
change.
I
don't
want
to
be
left
out
to
dry.
A
A
A
We
do
have
a
closed
item
7.1,
but
we
do
have
a
a
presentation
from
scq
water,
so
we
might
do
that
while
we're
in
open
and
then
we'll
go
into
close
after
that.
That
presentation,
if
that's
okay
with
everyone,
yep
thanks
director.
B
Thanks
for
your
madam
chair,
I'd
like
to
call
out
ross
muir
from
scq
water
and
carly
freeman
who
will
join
him.
Russ
will
give
us
a
a
presentation
on
an
update
of
the
drought
status
and
what's
happening
with
water
in
in
southeast
queensland
and,
as
I
say,
carly
and
ross
will
do
a
tag
team
throughout
the
presentation
of
how
we're
working
together
on
these
challenging
times.
C
So
welcome
ross
thanks
very
much
paul
and
good
morning,
everybody
and
pleasure
to
be
here
this
morning.
Yeah
paul
as
paul
said,
we're
here
on
the
invitation
of
gold
coast
to
really
talk
through
about
that,
the
drought
response
and
the
situation
we
are
currently
facing
in
terms
of
drought
leading
into
summer
and
we've
been
doing
these
briefings
across
southeast
queensland,
really
just
to
make
sure
that
local
governments
understand,
particularly
where,
where
the
situation's
at
and
the
plans
that
we
have
going
forward.
So
I'll
run
through
this
there's
time
for
questions
at
the
end.
C
I'd
just
like
to
start
off
by
acknowledging
the
work
that
gold
coast,
water
and
waste
are
already
doing
in
the
region
towards
our
sustainable
water.
Future
there's
been
some
really
great
achievements
and
some
work.
That's
still
in
play
that
we
particularly
would
like
to
acknowledge,
including
you
know,
making
better
use
of
recycled
water
locally.
C
Smart
meters,
obviously
a
great
way
to
inform
residents
about,
or
or
say
in
large
industrial
users
about.
You
know,
potential
leaks
and
things
like
that,
so
they
can
manage
their
water
use
better
and
even
providing
better
information
through
a
portal
which
is
happening
and
yeah
being
just
attentive
to
to
leaks
and
other
issues.
So
look
certainly
from
our
point
of
view,
they're
great
initiatives,
initiatives
and
we'd
really
like
to
acknowledge
that
at
the
start
of
this
presentation,.
C
So
as
a
region-
and
it's
not
just
our
challenges-
I
guess
it's
as
a
region
and
sustaining
a
water
supply.
What
are
the
challenges
that
we
face
and
I'll
touch
on
these
in
a
second,
but
some
of
you
might
may
have
may
have
heard
the
infrastructure.
C
So
I
think
that
really
paints
a
nice
broad
national
picture
and
really,
when
we
drill
down
to
our
region
exactly
the
same
issues
we're
facing
here.
So
we
know
that
the
population's
growing,
regionally
and
gold
coast
is
absolutely
no
exception
to
that,
and
I
guess
it's
interesting
to
also
note
that
the,
whilst
the
population's
growing
the
amount
of
water
that
each
household
or
individual
is
using
has
is
still
you
know
very
low
compared
to
before
the
millennium
drought,
when
we
had
restrictions.
C
So
in
fact,
before
restriction
before
the
millennium
drought,
if
I
can
say
sort
of
in
the
early
2000s,
we
used
to
have
to
make
around
a
thousand
megaliters
a
day,
okay
to
supply
southeast
queensland,
there's
now
well
over
a
million
more
people
in
the
region
and
we're
only
now
returning
to
that
thousand
megaliters
a
day,
top
production
number
so
we've
that
that
demand
reduction,
that
we've
achieved
through
the
millennium
drought,
through
various
measures
and
and
notwithstanding
that
they're
ongoing,
like
the
sort
of
work
that
you
guys
are
doing,
has
really
bought
us
some
significant
amount
of
time
and
and
really
improved
our
water
s
security
situation.
C
Overall.
So
that's
that's
that's
great
to
see,
but
that
means
that
we've
now
got
to
think
about
the
future.
Obviously,
in
terms
of
meeting
that
population
growth
going
forward,
climate
uncertainty
is
not
a
surprise.
What
I
would
say
is
we
we
have
seen
that
play
out
really
in
the
last
few
years.
C
We
think
about
the
rain
and
the
inflows
we've
had
regionally
now
now
hinsdam
has
has
been
a
great
performer,
as
has
some
of
the
sunshine
coast,
dams
we've
had
good
coastal
rain
and
we've
had
extended
periods
of
of
rainfall,
but
when
we
go
to
wyvenhoe
dam,
even
though
there
has
been
some
significant
rain
over
wyvern
horn,
somerset
dam,
it's
really
been
a
function
of
the
dry
climate
that
we've
had
that's
really
dried
those
catchments
up
and
has
soaked
up
that
water
before
it
hits
before
it
hit
those
dams.
C
So,
despite
having
a
pretty
wet
summer
last
year,
we
only
got
a
relatively
small
amount
of
water
into
those
dams,
and
I
think
in
part
that's
due
to
you
know
drying
climate
and
the
effect
that
it
has
on
the
runoff.
We've
also
saw
in
2019
when
we
had
a
particularly
hot
period.
You
know
evaporation
rates
were
extraordinary
and
not
only
affected
our
dam
suppliers,
but
also
you
can
imagine,
people
have
to
fill
up
pools
and
whatnot.
So
demand
goes
up
as
well,
so
climate
climate
uncertain.
C
I
guess
it's
what
the
uncertainty
is
the
the
extent
of
the
impact.
We
know
that
it
is
having
an
impact,
though,
and
that's
needs
to
be
part
of
our
planning,
the
water
grid
limitations
for
us,
it's
really
about
making
the
best
of
the
assets
that
we
have
so
we've
got
an
interconnected
water
grid
in
southeast
queensland.
It's
a
regional
approach
to
managing
urban
water
supply
and
it's
really
no
different
to
other
australian
capital
cities
where
there's
a
regional
approach
to
to
supplying
those
metropolitan
areas
in
and
around
sydney,
melbourne,
et
cetera,
et
cetera.
C
So
we
face
the
same
issues
as
they
face
around
making
the
best
optimizing,
the
best
use
of
the
different
water
sources
we
have
around
that
region
and
to
make
sure
we've
got
getting
our
best
overall
outcome
for
the
for
the
area.
So
that's
it's
a
challenge,
but
also
an
opportunity.
I
think
for
us
we
see
and
of
course
we
are
seeing-
and
you
can't
see
the
detail
there,
but
because
we
have
such
a
such
a
secure
water
supply
in
southeast
queensland.
C
There
are
inevitably
demands
outside
the
strict
boundaries
of
our
region,
including
toronto,
even
out
to
the
southern
downs
and
warwick
now
are
starting
to
to
look
to
southeast
queensland
to
help
support
their
their
water
security.
So
again
it
goes
to
that
regional
approach
and
really
making
the
best
use
of
the
assets
that
we've
got
to
to
to
support
those
areas.
But
we
need
to
factor
that
into
our
planning.
C
So
what
has
the
water
grid
supply
level
done
over
the
last
few
years?
So
if
we
go
back
to
probably
what
six
years
ago
yeah
the
grid
levels
were
pretty
full
we've
seen
a
steady
rate
of
decline
over
that
time.
So
I'll
talk
you
through
the
two
lines
on
this
on
this
graph.
The
first
line
is
the
I'll
focus
on
the
blue
line
to
start
with,
and
that
is
that
is
what
water
storage
is
in
southeast
queensland.
C
If
you
imagine
back
in
2015,
you
had
the
exact
same
conditions
as
the
millennium
drought,
but
you
overlay
on
that.
The
additional
infrastructure
that
we
have
today
around
you
know
the
dugan
desail
plant,
etc,
etc.
This
is
what
would
have
happened
over
the
millennium
drought,
and
what
that
tells
us
is
the
water
grid.
Storage
level
overall,
wouldn't
have
got
below
40.
C
In
contrast,
you
know
at
the
depths
of
the
drought
we
saw
wyvan
hoe,
you
know
well
below
20
percent
and
obviously
some
concerning
levels-
different
dams
around
the
area,
so
the
blue
line's
really
there
to
show
that
investment
that
we've
made
and
if
we
follow
our
drought
response
plan,
you
know
it's.
It's
it's
still
a
very
secure
water
supply
overlaid
on.
C
That
is
the
orange
line,
which
that
shows
what
the
grid
has
actually
happened
over
the
last
six
years,
and
you
can
see
there
it's
it
doesn't
exactly
follow
the
millennium
drought,
but
the
trend
is
very
similar
right,
we're
actually
on
that
type
of
trajectory
as
we
speak
so
and
if
we
we're
currently
at,
I
think,
just
over
57
percent
across
the
whole
grid.
C
If
we
were
to
continue,
we
kind
of
used
2019
as
our
sort
of
worst
case
planning
forecast
to
say,
okay
well,
how?
What
should
we
be
planning
for?
How
soon
could
the
next
things
happen?
We
could
be
down
to
to
50
before
summer,
or
I
guess
at
the
start
of
summer
in
december.
So
that's
that's
a
planning
date
that
we
use
and
I'll
talk
about
what
that
means
in
terms
of
the
next
round
of
actions
a
bit
later
through.
D
C
The
blue
line
says
if,
if,
if
at
2015,
when
you
had
in
place
all
the
extra
water
supply
assets
that
we
have
now,
yes
and
the
demand
management
place
plans
we
have
in
place
now
we
followed
the
drought
plan
in
2015.
You
had
exactly
the
same
situation
as
the
millennium
drought,
so
you
had
the
same
rainfall
and
inflows.
C
D
Right,
but
this
yellow
line
is
the
actual
storage
levels
that
we
had
based
on
the
infrastructure
that
was
about
that
was
available
to
us
to
use
at
the
time.
That's
right,
yeah.
So
it's
one
of
the
questions
that
people
ask
me
in
my
community
and
I
I
quite
know
how
to
answer
it
is
if
we've
got
a
desalination
plant
that
can
turn
salt
water
into
fresh
water.
D
C
Exactly
and
that's
a
and
that's
we
get
asked
that
all
the
time
and
it's
a
legitimate
question
right
so
part
of
it
goes
back
to
the
discussion
before
about
making
the
most
of
what
we've
got
and
the
limit
like
limitations.
We
have
around
the
grid.
So
if
I
can
put
it
in
context,
the
the
d
cell
plant
can
make
a
bit
over
100
mega
liters
per
day.
D
C
Total
southeast
queensland
demands
up
towards
800
to
a
thousand
mega
liters
per
day,
so
it
can
produce
about
10
of
the
total
demand.
Yes,
and
then
we
also
have
capacity
limitations
around
how
we
can,
if
we
combine
the
d
cell
water
plus
using
hinn's
name
and
mullen
dynamiterobar,
there's
a
capacity
limitation
in
the
pipeline
that
gets
the
water
in
towards
brisbane
around
90
mega
liters
per
day,
so
it
it.
C
If
we
wanted
to,
we
could
build
a
whole
series
of
desal
plants
and
just
totally
take
take
everybody
off
damn
water
that
would
be
incredibly
expensive
and
and
whatnot,
but
what
the
desal
plant
does
do.
It
actually
slows
the
rate
of
decline
that
you
see
on
that
orange
line
that
that
orange
line
would
have
been
faster
in
terms
of
its
rate
of
decline
and
we'd
been
a
worse
situation
today,
if
not
for
us
running
the
d
cell
plant
over
the
last
18
months,.
D
C
D
D
And
is
there
any
statewide
consideration
of
a
a
more
northern
desal
project.
C
So
we
in
the
middle
of
producing
our
next
sort
of
30-year
plan
yeah.
So
that's
due
to
come
out
in
march
next
year,
yeah
and
the
last
time
when
we
did
this
last
time
in
2017,
we
foreshadowed
the
need
for
a
new
water
source
in
the
northern
part
of
the
region
towards
the
sunshine
coast
and
there's
going
to
have
to
be
an
options
process
to
look
at
that.
C
But
decel
is
among
the
options
as
well,
as
you
know,
potentially
other
other
storage
and
other
options
up
there,
so
that
that's
what
that
last
round
of
planning
told
us,
we
probably
need
to
do
something
on
the
sunshine
coast.
It
could
be
a
decel
plan
it
might.
It
could
be
something
different,
we're
just
refreshing
that
planning
at
the
moment
just
to
see
if
that
needs
to
change.
C
C
Just
to
give
you
a
sense
of
relative
water
consumption
across
the
region,
so
probably
what
I
understand
what
stands
out
there
is,
over
the
last
the
last
month,
yeah
we've
had
pretty
good
results
overall
across
the
region
in
terms
of
water
demand,
one
we're
currently
targeting
about
150
litres
per
person
per
day,
and
we
managed
to
achieve
that.
Close
to
that
you
know
155
over
august
there
is
regional
variation
right,
so
that's
a
regional
average
and
redland
does
tend
to
be
the
highest
demand
area.
C
It's
a
very
small
part
of
our
supply,
but
it
does
tend
to
be
the
highest
demand
area
and
really
the
two
coastal
areas
tend
to
be
the
sort
of
next
in
line
in
terms
of
total
water
demand
so
which
literally
plays
out
on
those
numbers
there
between
gold
coast
in
the
grey
and
unity
water,
which
is
the
sunshine
coast
in
the
blue.
So
sorry
as
well.
D
C
It
wouldn't
be
because
of
that,
in
fact,
all
the
big
big
water
use
industries
are
actually
an
urban
and
urban
utilities.
Footprint
yeah
there
you
go
okay,.
C
C
Look,
I
I'd
have
to
take
that
one
and
notice
precisely
how
they've
taken
into
account.
But
there
are
it's.
There
is
an
allowance
for
visitors,
but
I'm
not
sure
how
precise
that
is
seasonally.
So
I'd
have
to
take
that
one
and
notice.
C
So
given,
as
I
mentioned
before,
drought,
our
water
overall
water
grid
storages
are
just
below
58,
so
that
that
sort
of
plays
into
our
drought
response
program,
and
so
when
we
to
do
our
30-year
plan,
which
we
did
last
in
2017,
we
set
out.
What's
the
drought
response
plan
for
the
region,
it's
reasonably
simple
and
it's
basically
taking
a
series
of
escalating
measures,
as
as
damn
levels
reduce
and
really
start
I'll
focus
there
on
at
70
percent.
C
We
really
enter
a
drought,
readiness
phase,
and
that
was
in
about
march
2019
that
we
we
kicked
off
that
off,
and
that
was
doing
it's
doing
some
of
the
basic
things
like
mobilizing,
even
ourselves,
to
get
ready
for
drought
response.
C
Starting
to
talk
to
to
yourselves
about
okay,
we
need
to
start
thinking
about
getting
ready
for
drought
response
looking
at
our
assets,
what
we
need,
what
we
need
to
do,
and
and
also
providing
some
community
messaging
around
you
know,
water
levels
are
are
starting
to
get
scarce
so
that
that
that
that's
sort
of
been
and
gone
and
we've
been
with
the
sixty
percent
target.
C
We've
actually
touched
on
that
a
few
times,
but
most
recently
in
june
this
year,
we've
sort
of
crossed
that
60
threshold
and
that's
when
we
really
target,
as
I
mentioned
before,
that
150
liters
per
person
per
day
regionally
for
for
demand
and
running,
and
that's
that's
a
voluntary
measures,
but
it's
about
informing
the
community
and
really
asking
them
to
step
up
and
start
to
save
water.
So
we
we
run
some
campaigns.
We
do.
C
We
also
join
with
your
council,
as
well
as
the
other
water
service
providers
who
have
that
close
connection
with
your
consumers,
about
providing
water
saving
tips
and
using
those
communication
channels
at
60
percent.
We
also
have
to
mention
before
ramp
up
production
of
the
d
cell
plant,
so
it's
been
running
up
to
100.
C
We've
had
you
know
things
like
shut
plan
shutdowns
and
things
like
that
in
between,
but
it's
been
running
pretty
much
flat
out
going
back
to
junit,
even
a
little
bit
before
that,
actually
and
which
has
been
a
great
contributor
and
at
60
that's
also
the
trigger
upon
which
we
consider
recommissioning,
the
the
western
corridor
recycle
water
scheme.
So
this
was
a
recycled
water
scheme
built
in
the
millennium
drought
that
until
I
think
in
2013
it
was
sort
of
decommissioned
and
just
put
in
a
state
of
readiness.
C
Since
that
time,
we've
actually
recommissioned
a
small
part
of
the
scheme
and
we've
and
we've
used
that
we
did
that
a
couple
of
years
ago,
we've
used
that
to
supply
industry
and
we're
currently
using
that
to
offset
demand
from
power
stations
so
swan
bank
power
station
and
believe
it
or
not,
turong
power
station
up
in
the
burn.
It
actually
takes
water
out
of
wyvern
houdini
when
their
own
dam
gets
low.
So
we're
using
that
to
to
offset
in
gra.
C
C
So
it's
a
big
asset
and
it's
a
big
part
of
the
drought
response
more
recently,
so
we
had
the
the
small
23
bit
in
production
a
couple
of
months
ago,
as
we
hit
60,
we
took
the
decision
to
actually
restart
more
capacity,
so
we
can
supply
70
of
the
180
mega
liters
per
day
by
about
middle
of
next
year
and
again
that
will
that
will
totally
offset
all
the
power
station
demand
that
we're
seeing
out
of
the
dam.
So
that's,
that's.
C
That's
been
the
next
phase
and
we're
currently
talking
with
government
about
you
know
what
the
next
part
of
that
recommissioning
is.
As
we
move
towards.
You
know
further
declining
levels,
the
ultimate
the
ultimate
purpose
of
the
western
corridor
scheme
is
around
supplying
water
into
wyvern
hodam
to
augment
drinking
water.
Yes,.
E
I
can't
recall
what
you
said:
the
consumption
for
the
power
station
was,
but
I
think
you've
mentioned
20
percent
of
the
entire
seq.
C
So
that
is
drawn
from,
I
think,
there's
about
five
or
six
wastewater
treatment
plants
that
are
owned
by
urban
utilities,
so
one's
around
ipswich,
gibson,
island
and
bundamba.
So
it's
it's
it's
most
of
brisbane
and
ipswich's
wastewater,
it's
that
they
treat
it
to
the
standard
required
for
them
to
discharge
it.
C
We
then
have
three
advanced
water
treatment
plants
using
world-class
technology
that
actually
turns
that
water
into
drinking
water,
quality,
standard
water
and
that's
that's
the
standard
of
water
that
would
be
put
into
wyvern
dam
mixed
up
with
damn
water
and
then
retreated.
So
it's
a
very
extensive
treatment
process
to
deal
with
that
wastewater.
C
Yes,
that's
right
right,
and
we
do
that
because
we
can't,
because
it's
eventually
part
of
the
drinking
water
supply.
We
have
to
make
sure
that
the
integrity
of
the
whole
scheme
is
is
kept
in
place
so
that
it's
always
producing
water
that
highest
quality
stand.
We
don't
have
any
residual
or
issues
around
having
produced
a
lower
quality
standard.
What
do
we
do
then,
to
go
to
the
highest
quality
standard.
C
Should
the
obviously
we
have
very
extended
drought
conditions
and
we're
going
to
drought,
that's
worse!
In
the
millennium
drought
there
is
planning
around.
You
know
what
to
do
then,
and
we're
currently
looking
at
contingency
options.
Should
we
get
to
these
sort
of
you
know
25
type
levels
in
the
next
couple
of
years
and
that's
that's
work
underway,
but
that's
certainly
part
of
our
planning
and
part
of
our
response.
F
Before
you
go
off,
go
back
to
that
slide
with
the
contingency,
so
the
city's
recycled
water
gets.
It
will
ultimately
get
discharged
out
to
see
via
the
pipeline
that
we're
putting
there
where,
when
you
reach
that
25
mark,
would
it
be
a
state
government
decision
in
regards
to
the
repurposing
of
that
type
of
resource.
C
Now
that
would
be
something
and
that
that,
as
in
terms
of
the
contingency
measures,
we're
looking
at
your
recycle
border
schemes,
aren't
part
of
yeah
we're
looking
at
it's
more
things
like
using
wire,
long
dam,
better,
for
example,
which
is
an
existing
source,
but
any
of
these
measures
would
be
done
through
if
it.
If
we
required
your
help,
it
would
be
done
through
a
from
our
point
of
view
through
a
process
of
discussion
and
negotiation.
C
F
C
C
So
what
we're
currently
doing-
and
this
really
goes
back
to
the
past
plan-
you're
up
to
optimizing
that
grid.
So
not
only
are
we
moving
water
from
the
gold
coast
using
the
d
in
to
offset
that
demand
centrally,
but
also
transporting
water
from
the
sunshine
coast
south.
So
it's
really
to
support
the
lower
dam
levels.
C
That's
in
contrast
to
what
happened
four
or
five
years
ago,
when
sunshine
coast,
dams
were
actually
in
a
lot
of
trouble
and
we
re
reversed
that
that
flow,
and
we,
you
know,
put
all
as
much
water
as
we
could
into
the
sunshine
coast
to
support
those
dams
up
there.
So
it
works
both
ways
right
and-
and
it
will
always
work
that
way.
But
at
the
moment
the
the
problem
we've
got
is
about
supporting
the
central
system
that
will
change
over.
It
could
change
over
time
and
it
can
change
in
the
next
round
as
well.
C
I
think
I've
covered
off
those
other
points
and
we've
had
the
water
saving
campaign,
as
I
mentioned
before.
So
it's
been
a
it's
been
a
busy
year,
that's
fair,
to
say,
looking
forward
what
we,
what
we're
looking
to
do
is
really
build
up
knowledge
and
understanding
across
the
whole
region
around
the
drought
situation
that
we're
in
and
and
the
the
importance
of
water
more
generally,
because
this
is
going
to
as
if
the
drought
continues.
This
is
a
conversation
that
we
need
to
escalate
with
the
community.
C
More
broadly,
I
think
one
of
the
one
of
the
findings
we
had
out
of
our
most
recent
research.
So
we
do
annual
research
across
the
region
about
attitudes
and
insights.
People
think
how
they
think
about
water
and
drought,
response
and
water
planning.
It
was
a
bit
alarming
to
us
to
see
that
only
25
of
the
population
in
southeast
queensland
thought
we
were
in
a
drought
and
61
didn't-
and
I
guess
you
know
not,
unsurprisingly,
in
some
areas
where
you
look
outside
and
there's
a
green,
green,
footpath
and
and
whatnot.
So
it's
it's!
C
C
Have
that
conversation
and
talk
about
the
plan
that
we
have
going
forward
as
well,
so
and
and
that
will
lead
into
and
support,
for
example,
discussions
that
we'll
need
to
start
having
about
when
we
need
to
have
restrictions
which,
as
per
that
the
forecast
we
showed
that
could
be
as
early
as
as
december,
so
that
help
that
helps
the
conversation
about
the
need
for
restrictions.
E
C
Absolutely
because
it's
a
it's
a
we
manage
water
supply
regionally,
it
has
to
be
a
regional
response
and
even
though
we
might
have
full
dams
in
one
part
of
the
world,
actually
preserving
the
supply
and
that
dam's
important
because
of
how
we
can
move
water
around
the
grid.
So
it's
that's
entirely.
Our
approach
is
to
have
a
regional
response.
C
Okay,
if
there's
no
further
questions,
there's
a
lot
of
detail
on
the
slide,
but
I
think
the
main
thing
is
just
to
say:
that's
we
want
to
have
that
conversation
around
water
security,
I
might
hand
over
to
carly.
G
Thank
you
russ
good
morning
councillors,
I'm
just
going
to
give
you
a
bit
of
an
overview
this
morning
of
how
we're
taking
that
information.
That's
coming
out
of
seq
water
and
turning
it
into
a
localized
campaign,
that's
palatable
for
our
community
here
on
the
gold
coast,
so
you
might
be
familiar
with
this
creative
that
we've
had
in
market.
Probably
now
for
about
18
months
to
two
years.
G
In
developing
this
campaign,
we
took
into
consideration
the
comprehensive
millennium
drought
messaging
that
a
large
portion
of
our
residents
are
already
familiar
with
and
identify
that
there
could
be.
The
questions
asked
if
we
just
simply
rehash
that
message.
When
the
time
comes,
asking
you
to
save
water,
and
this
is
how
you
do
it.
Yes,
yes,
we
know
that.
But
what
are
you
doing?
City
of
gold
coast?
G
So
in
developing
our
campaign,
we
identified
that
we
don't
only
need
to
tell
or
ask
the
community
to
help
us
in
safe
water,
but
ensure
they
understand
what
the
city
of
gold
coast
is
doing
to
play
our
part,
so
that
included
promoting
what
we're
doing
to
ensure
efficient
water
use,
which
has
included
the
expansion
of
the
recycled
water
network
and
the
use
of
that
alternative
water
source
for
business
and
industry,
delivering
smart
meters
to
our
non-residential
customers
and
providing
an
online
portal
to
monitor
water
use
and
address
potential
leaks
in
real
time
and
internal
process.
G
Changes
that
we've
made
to
rapidly
respond
to
water
leaks
on
city
city
land.
So
that's
how
the
let's
save
water
together
campaign
came
to
fruition
and
it
supports
seq
waters
messaging
in
that
we're
all
in
this
together
we're
one
region,
one
water
supply
and
every
one
and
every
drop
counts.
This
campaign
is
not
a
drought
campaign.
We
have
to
purposely
turn
it
into
a
sustainability
campaign,
so
we
can
have
an
always-on
approach,
regardless
of
what's
happening
in
terms
of
water
security.
G
So
when
water
supplies
in
abundance,
we're
in
the
market
reminding
the
importance
of
sustaining
that
water
supply
because
we
are
part
of
the
water
grid
and
that
water
can
be
sent
north
to
our
northern
neighbours
where
it
may
be
needed
more
and
as
their
combined
storage,
water
levels
for
our
messaging
can
become
more
urgent
without
having
to
redesign
the
creative
and
we
simply
increase
media
by
to
expand
the
the
visual
aspects
around
the
city.
G
So
what
you've
seen
so
far
over
the
last
year
or
two
is
street
pole
banners
across
the
city
we've
had
flies
in
tourism
publications.
We've
got
van
wraps
on
our
first
responder
vehicles
that
attend
to
those
water
leaks,
we've
wrapped
our
sewerage
pump
station
assets.
We
have
quarterly
artic.
Excuse
me
quarterly
articles
in
the
community
news,
which
is
the
water
bill,
insert
as
well
as
artwork
and
messaging
on
build
shells
and
the
envelope
that
it
goes
in.
We've
got
social
media
campaigns
that
are
refreshed
quarterly
and
web
banners.
G
So
we're
now
in
the
position
where
we
do
need
to
increase
the
messaging
as
we
head
towards
a
possible
announcement
of
drought
and
water
restrictions
later
this
year,
so
we're
building
on
the
let's
say
water
together
campaign
to
include
more
education
to
increase
water
literacy
around
where
our
water
comes
from
the
fact
that
we
are
one
region,
one
water
supply
and
the
water
can
be
moved
around
the
water
grid
to
where
it's
needed
most
recycled.
Water
is
a
big
topic
for
us
here
on
the
gold
coast.
What
is
it,
how
can
it
be
used?
G
So
improving
water
literacy
through
digital
assets,
I'm
just
giving
you
a
snapshot
of
a
a
data,
use
graphic
that
we've
got
on
the
website.
So
the
graphic
on
the
far
left.
There
is
just
a
screenshot
of
what
is
live
now
on
the
my
water
page
and
that's
pulling
data
to
and
allow
us
to
inform
residents
of
how
we're
tracking
in
terms
of
water
use
per
person
per
day.
So
we
don't
currently
have
a
target
that
we
have
to
meet
at
the
moment.
G
But
it's
important
to
start
that
conversation
around
well
what
what
is
typical
of
our
water
use
on
the
gold
coast?
What
is
140
liters
per
person
per
day
look
like
and
how?
How
are
we
over
that?
What
was
our
best
result?
So
that's
only
just
gone
live
in
the
last
week,
or
so
we're
still
still
working
on
a
few
tweaks
with
that
and
that
will
form
part
of
our
education
messaging
and
be
a
really
important
tool
to
use
the
graphic
in
the
middle.
G
There
is
a
tool
that
we've
built
that's
sitting
in
the
background
waiting
for
water
restrictions
to
be
announced.
So
that's
when
the
target
140
liter
per
person
per
day,
message
will
come
in
right
across
southeast
queensland,
so
we'll
be
able
to
use
that
tool
to
show
how
we're
tracking
each
week,
that
figure
is
updated
and
are
we
meeting
target?
How
far
over?
G
Are
we
and,
depending
on
how
far
over
we
are
specific
water
saving
tips,
will
pop
up
to
support
the
resident
to
make
a
slight
change
in
behavior
in
the
home
to
simply
bring
that
that
that
level
down
so
that
example,
I've
got
in
the
middle.
There
is
just
over
20
liters
over
per
person
per
day,
so
a
couple
of
tips
will
will
pop
up
have
a
shorter
shower
wash
with
a
full
load,
use
a
trigger
nozzle
hose
in
the
garden.
G
If
we
start
getting
way
over
40
liters
50
liters
per
person
per
day,
more
tips
will
come
up
and
they'll
be
refreshed
quite
frequently.
G
The
graphic
on
the
right
hand,
side
is
where
we
want
to
go
and
what
we're
currently
scoping
and
that's
moving
just
from
a
water
use
graphic
into
what
we're
calling
an
environmental
dashboard.
So
that's
an
example
of
what
the
city
of
oberlin
has
done
in
the
u.s.
I
believe
they
are,
and
by
creating
something
similar
will
enable
the
community
to
have
easy
access
to
information.
They
require
to
make
more
sustainable
choices
and
give
a
holistic
view
of
of
sustainability
in
their
local
neighborhood
right
here
on
the
gold
coast.
G
So
the
information
we're
looking
at,
including
will
be
weekly
water
use.
Obviously,
waste
generation,
renewable
energy
generation.
That
tool
will
form
part
of
our
communications
and
education
to
the
community.
But
it
will
be
a
really
important
platform
that
will
then
link
to
all
of
our
educational
pages
right
across
the
website,
highlighting
the
sustainable
actions
that
we're
taking
and
and
what
we're
asking
the
community
to
to
take.
F
Madame
tread,
wasn't
the
question
of
carly,
but
maybe
back
in,
I
was
wondering
if
you
knew
how
much
water
we
lose
from
our
damn.
That's
in
natural
absorption
each
day
or
maybe
in
a
week
or
a
month.
C
Oh
yeah
good
question,
it's
significant!
So
it's
in
terms
of
when
we
have
a
hot
evaporation
day.
We
can
lose
as
much
if
not
more,
through
evaporation
as
from
demand.
So
it's
it
has
a
big
impact,
certainly
on
a
during
summer
and
when
it's
hot
yeah.
F
So
I
know,
there's
been
advances
all
around
the
world
and
the
technology
is
changing
all
the
time,
but
are
we
likely
to
see
any
time
in
the
not
too
distant
future
where
we
would
see
some
of
our
smaller
dams
or
reservoirs
have
covers
over
them
or
different
systems
put
in
place
to
reduce
that
evaporation.
C
A
H
You
through
the
chair,
it
was
noted
before
that
there's
a
perception
of
in
tourist
cities
that
there's
a
high
use
by
visitors.
Do
you
know
what
with
whether
there's
validity
to
that
and
if
there
is
what
is
that
impact
I
mean
it?
It
occurs
like
there
would
be.
I
know
that
for
myself
my
behavior
changes
when
I
go
on
a
holiday
and
there's
a
sense
it's
so
I'm
just
curious
about
that
impact.
B
B
We
obviously
account
for
it
in
our
planning
in
visitor
nights
and
and
occupancy
of
motels
etc
for
our
network,
modeling
and
network
and
demand
planning,
but
very
difficult
in
the
sense
that,
yes,
we
can
absolutely
look
at
motels
and
accommodation
facilities,
but
obviously
we
get
you
know
a
number
of
visitors
just
come
down
for
the
weekend
and
stay
with
with
friends
or
or
do
a
range
of
things.
B
We
do
have
specific
campaigns
and
we
have
had
in
the
past
targeting
accommodation
facilities,
and
that
includes
you
know,
just
as
you
would
normally
see.
B
You
know
bench
cards
that
say
you
know
please,
please
conserve
our
water
stickers
on
mirrors,
you
know
the
regular,
you
know,
don't
don't
put
out
your
towels
for
washing
every
day,
please
you
know
if
you're
able
to
hang
them
up
again
and
use
them
again,
so
we've
done
those
campaigns
in
the
past
and
generally
we
get,
I
think,
quite
good
support
from
the
the
the
sector
and
the
tourism
industry
in
those
programs.
Yeah.
G
We
certainly
do
and
that'll
be
a
segment
that
we'll
focus
on
as
we
near
our
inch
click
closer
to
water
restrictions,
because
we'll
have
that
tourism
type
message
right
through
southeast
queensland.
G
So
at
the
moment,
there's
a
risk
of
that
message
being
a
little
bit
lost
with
the
visitors
coming
here
when
there's
not
loud
and
proud
drought
messaging
type
across
the
city
exactly,
but
as
we
inch
towards
those
water
restrictions,
then
that
messaging
gets
provided
back
to
the
the
hotel
and
accommodation
providers,
and
I
I
did
work
on
the
millennium
drought
campaign
and
the
accommodation
providers
were
crying
out
for
that
information.
They
were
really
supportive.
So.
A
Can
I
can,
I
just
add
to
that
too,
because
I
managed
a
a
resort
in
cooling
gator
for
a
lot
of
years,
and
I
think
that
the
the
accommodation
houses
for
tourism
were
probably
the
ones
that
really
led
the
way
in
putting
water
saving
devices
on
all
taps
showers,
getting
rid
of
cooling
towers.
I
know
at
beach
house
we
had
a
massive
cooling
tower
that
used
masses
of
water.
We
actually
decreased
our
water
consumption
by
half
by
50,
and
we
we
and
actually
you
know
we
were-
we
were
made
too.
A
F
Madam
chair,
through
to
the
director
so
appreciating
in
the
holiday
present
to
start
with
so
in
our
hotels
and
accommodation
settings,
have
we
ever
got
to
a
point
where,
in
the
design
of
those
buildings
we're
connecting
them
to
recycled
water,
they
go
through
the
toilets
or
we're
having
them
put
in
tanks
that
collect
some
grey
water,
so
they
can
irrigate
their
own
sites,
not
using
tap
water
like
have
we
got
to
that
point
yet.
B
Absolutely
the
the
outstanding
development
is
the
star
casino
development.
They
take
recycled
water,
they
treat
it
and
they
reticulate
it
through
their
buildings
and
the
buildings
that
they're
constructing
for
toilet
flushing.
So
they
are
by
far
the
most,
as
I
said,
engaged
and
active
in
that
area.
Clearly,
our
recycled
water
network
is
only
available
to
some
areas
and
some
localities
in
terms
of
grey
water,
reuse
or
or
rain
water
harvesting
systems.
That's
generally
a
a
decision
by
the
developer
themselves.
B
We
we
can't
mandate
that
and
in
the
past
the
city
did
have
requirements
for
installation
of
rainwater
tanks
on
residential
properties,
but
there
are
no
mandatory
directions
in
in
grey
water
or
rainwater
use
for
any
establishments.
At
this.
F
A
Yeah
and
councillor
hamill,
I
think,
there's
a
lot
of
smaller
accommodation
houses
that
have
actually
you
know,
they've
got
their
rain
water
tanks,
they
use
their
their
water
for
their
landscape.
Irrigation
that's
been
happening
for
years.
F
Yeah
and
a
pressure,
I
knew
of
examples,
otherwise
the
star
was
kind
of
leading
example
of
it,
but
they're
kind
of
a
drop
in
the
ocean
compared
to
the
overall
usage
it
has
to
be.
It
has
to
be
a
plan
that,
over
the
next
couple
decades,
you'd
like
to
see
the
vast
majority
compared
to
the
minority
connected
to
it,
chair
through
you
to
the
director
again
and
the
recycled
water
tends
to
be
looked
at
in
terms
of
going
through
toilet
systems.
F
Like
do
we
understand
I'm
thinking
of
yutler,
for
example,
so
there
had
been
attempts
in
the
past
to
look
at
taking
recycled
water.
It
is
in
parts
of
yeah,
but
that
was
for
actual
use
so
to
go
through
a
manufacturing
process,
but
in
big
employment
areas
like
that,
does
it
not
stack
up
that
if
all
those
buildings
were
connected
to
the
recycled
waters
for
their
toilet
systems?
Does
that
lead
to
a
cost
benefit?
There's
actually
enough
recycled
water
getting
used?
B
Look
generally
toilet
systems
aren't
a
large
user
of
water.
As
you
say,
you
know,
in
the
big
scheme
of
things
that
the
biggest
water
use
by
far
is
external
water
use
irrigation.
You
know
even
on
residential
properties.
Historically,
nowadays,
as
we've
over
time,
densification
has
led
to
smaller
lots,
less
screen
areas
you
know
privately,
so
we've
actually
seen
that's
contributed
to
a
lot
of
the
reduction
in
water
use
that
we've
seen.
B
Similarly
during
the
millennium
drought,
and
since
just
our
normal
water
use
devices
have
improved
in
their
efficiency.
You
know
back
when
we
were
kids,
you
only
had
a
single
flush,
11
liter
toilet.
Now
I
don't
think
you
can
buy
anything
other
than
a
three
to
six
liter
flush
toilet.
B
So
all
of
those
things
contribute
to
those
improvements,
but
generally
to
to
retrofit
a
system
that
would
only
supply,
for
example,
toilet
flushing
in
the
you
know,
yatler
area
would
be
enormously
expensive
compared
with
the
savings
that
would
be
achieved.
That's
that's!
Where
we're
targeting
with
our
recycled
water
and
and
for
example,
to
go
back
when
we
had
the
class
a
plus
system,
we
had
5
000
customers,
residential
customers
who
used
5
of
the
recycled
water
in
the
city.
B
F
B
We
got
recycled
water
right.
The
way
down
to
kiln
gutter.
Betty
diamond
sports-
complex,
I
think,
is
the
southernmost,
which
is
right
next
to
the
airport.
F
B
Of
them
are
look
at
varies
it.
The
the
southern
part
is
mostly
pretty
much
along
the
m1,
the
northern
part.
It
comes
closer
to.
B
B
That
project
has
another
five
stages
worth
a
hundred
million
which
go
across
the
whole
of
the
city
and
target
the
high
water
users
that
we
can
across
the
city.
But
there's
always
there's
always
other
opportunities
depending
on
what
developments
occur
and
and
to
be
honest,
what
the
city
wants
to
do
in
terms
of
promoting
this
resource.
F
All
right,
so
I'm
sorry
manager
I'll
take
that
as
a
no
ben
said,
we're
not
putting
a
mate
we're
not
putting
in
the
same
way
that,
when
we're
doing
the
first
stage
of
light
rail
we
put
in
services
for
the
future
and
capacity
for
the
future.
There's
no
purple
pipeline
going
underneath
the
light
rail
network
to
make
sure
there's
a
main
line
there
for
the
future.
No.
F
B
F
B
Well,
the
the
the
to
be
honest,
the
real
answer
is
of
the
western
corridor
scheme.
If
we
are
in
that
sort
of
situation
where
we
need
recycled
water
to
all
users,
you
use
your
current
water
articulation
network.
B
It
just
doesn't
suck
up
you're
investing
in
a
completely
new
duplication
of
a
network
that
that's
billions
of
dollars.
A
H
Thanks,
madam
chair,
actually
this
sitting
here.
Listening
to
this,
it
sounds
like
a
re-run
of
discussions
we
held
20
years
ago
ross
just
a
question
to
you.
Now,
some
around
about
2000,
there
was
discussion
about
a
desalt
plant
in
brisbane
what
happened
with
any
youtube
d
cell
in
brisbane:
what's
happened
there.
C
Thanks
for
the
question,
yeah,
look
I'm
not
personally
familiar
with
that
that
decision
back
back
in
or
that
investigation
back
in
2020.
Certainly
we
look
in
terms
of
long-term
water
sources.
We
look
we're
happy
to
look
at
all
options.
I
think
I
think
the
desal
location
is
one
of
the
constraining
factors
there
is
having
something
that's
close
to.
C
You
know
large
networks
being
able
yeah,
there's
environmental
factors
as
well,
so
that
it
may
have
been
ruled
out
on
on
that
basis,
but
it
certainly
hasn't
emerged
to
the
top
towards
the
top
of
the
pile
in
terms
of
long-term
options
that
we're
currently
looking
at.
H
Gold
coast
city
council
has
always
been
very
good
and
probably
at
the
forefront
of
doing
education
in
a
drought
and
at
that
time,
for
those
that
remember,
we
had
the
beach
showers
that
we
had
to
turn
off
and
there
was
a
lot
of
messaging
around
and
we
all
worked
together
through
industry,
residential
commercial
and
we
found
that
it
was
very
successful
and
I
think
was
counseling
young
just
mentioned
it
before
about
the
odds
and
events,
and
I
have
raised
this
before.
H
It
was
an
ongoing
education
program
and
I
can't
understand
why
this
hasn't
been
put
in
place
as
an
ongoing
education
program,
because
it
is
education
that
reminds
people
that
we
may
have
had
a
drought.
You
know
20
years
ago,
but
we're
always
going
to
have
another
drought.
So
can
you
just
explain
why
that
hasn't
been
an
ongoing
education
program
for
that
odds
and
ease
evens.
C
So
we've
we,
for
example,
run
a
school
education
program
and
have
done
that
for
some
years
now
to
build
up
knowledge
and
literacy
amongst
not
only
children
at
school,
but
they
take
that
home
as
well
and
and
we
we
run
community
events
and
other
information
and
education
processes
to
build
that
that
that
level
of
knowledge
and
awareness
of
the
need
for
water
security.
B
Sorry,
madam
chair,
if
I
could
just
answer
that,
if
we
hit
50
percent
later
this
year,
certainly
in
that
first
round
of
proposed
restrictions
across
the
region,
odds
and
even
watering
is-
is
part
of
that
package.
B
At
that
point
in
time
I
think
post
the
millennium
drought,
there
was
significant
debate
about
people,
sort
of
called
them
permanent
water
restrictions,
like
things
like
odds
and
evens
watering
to
to
maintain
and
embed
good
behaviors
and
and
just
ensuring
people.
You
know
continuously
use
water
wisely
and
efficiently,
because
that's
what
will
sustain
you
through
bad
periods,
is
if
you're,
sustainable
and
use
water
efficiently
during
the
good
periods.
B
No,
I
have
no
doubt
that
if
we
go
into
drought
again
in
significant
drought,
that
discussion
about
permanent
water
restrictions
or
permanent
water
saving,
behaviors
will
will
occur
again.
A
And
anybody
who
hasn't
had
a
tour
of
the
desail
plan.
I
suggest
that
you
know
when
you
get
the
opportunity
to
do
so,
because
it's
it's
really
really
interesting
and
certainly
opened
my
eyes.
I've
been
twice
now
because
gold
coast
open
house
actually
usually
has
it
on
their
itinerary,
where
people
can
have
tours
in
it,
and
it's
been
really
really
insightful
council
young.
E
Chair,
I
wonder
if
the
water
commission
is
looking
at
long-range
forecasts
for
the
summer
period
and
what
that
might
look
like.
C
We
certainly
do
and
we
largely
take
our
cues
off
of
the
bomb,
the
bureau
of
meteorology
data
and
now
they're
they're
talking
about
a
wet
spring
and
and
probably
a
wetter
than
average
summer.
So,
however,
what
that
means
is
what
we
get
in
terms
of
getting
real
inflows
into
dams.
You
need
a
week
of
heavy
rain
and,
and
that
and
the
averages
in
spring
really
don't
give
you
that
and
if
you
just
get
a
little
bit
more
than
the
average
spread
out
across
the
season,
it
doesn't
do
much.
C
So
we
certainly
look
at
that
and
it's
it's
something
we
keep
an
eye
on,
but
it's
certainly
becau
you
kind
of
have
to
it's.
It's
uncertain
right
because
the
weather,
you
know
it's
something.
We
have
to
factor
that
into
our
planning,
but
again
recognizing
that
weather's
always
uncertain.
B
One
is
as
councillor
hamel
said
before
our
water
losses
just
through
evaporation
in
our
storages,
but
also
when
we
have
obviously
higher
temperatures
and
longer
periods
of
higher
temperatures,
people's
water
use
increases
significantly
and
the
water
use
that
they
want
to
use
to
to
keep
their
garden
going
and
even
just
to
keep
cool
in
the
middle
of
summer
increases
significantly.
B
So
it's
a
double
whammy.
We're
getting
hit
from
both
sides,
the
uncertainty
in
in
the
rainfall
patterns
and,
obviously,
but
the
more
significant
impact
is
the
absolute
drying
and
the
increase
in
temperatures
which
again
increases
the
soil
moisture
deficit
which
reduces
the
runoff
when
you
get
any
rain
so
as
as
ross
said,
we're
absolutely
certain.
There
will
be
impacts,
we're
just
not
sure
how
significant
those
impacts
are.
E
One
last
thing
I
wanted
to
ask
about
the
desal
plant,
which
obviously
consumes
an
enormous
amount
of
electricity,
and
some
would
say
that
that
contributes
to
climate
change
and
that
contributes
to
our
demand
for
water
and
that
contributes
to
our
demand
or
reliance
upon
desalination
plants.
So
is
the
diesel
plant
using
renewable
energy.
C
No,
it's
not,
but
we
have
recently
put
in
place
commitments
around.
You
know
getting
towards
as
a
business
getting
towards
zero
net
emissions
and
good
and
that'll
obviously
be
part
of
that
journey
because,
as
you
say,
I
think
we
need
to
be
part
of
this
part
of
the
solution.
A
Thank
you
committee.
We
have
a
closed
item,
but
I'm
just
wondering
is
there
any
questions
for
that
item?
Do
we
need
to
go
into
closed.
F
No,
I
have,
I
have
a
conflict
for
jj
richards,
but
I
think
it
may
be
one
that
left
me
in
the
room
which,
for
because
you've
now
reached
a
point
in
this
contract
negotiation.
Stuff
I'll,
be
exiting
the
room
okay
from
now
on,
whenever
it
rears
its
head.
A
All
right
so
can
we
bring
that
conflict
up
and
you're
going
to
leave
the
room
counselor.
F
D
D
No
great.
I
just
want
to
be
very
clear
because,
what's
going
to
happen,
is
we're
going
to
potentially
move
to
close
and
have
questions
and
that
might
be
discussed.
But
to
me
I
read
that
report
and
it
that
that
entity
is
not
mentioned
in
the
report.
We're
not
at
that
stage
at
all
such
that
we're
just
resolving.
D
F
Right,
that's
correct,
just
madam
chair
and
just
to
give
councillor
tozer
a
little
bit
of
context
on
it.
It's
some
that
ik's
fully
expected.
It
would
be
reasonable
that
when,
if
you
go
on
to
close
and
there's
going
to
be,
discussions
had
between
councillors
and
officers
on
what
may
or
may
not
be
in
a
contract
or
what
inclusions
you
may
or
may
not
want
in
a
contract,
and
that
just
puts
me
in
a
position
that
I'm
not
going
to
put
myself.
D
F
Apparently,
nobody's
watching.
A
We
actually
go
up
to
the
actual
conflict:
yeah,
that's
okay
and
counselor.
How
are
you
you're
choosing
to
leave
the
room.
A
Okay
committee,
so
is
there
any
questions?
Do
we
need
to
go
into
closed
or
would
someone
like
to
oh
yeah.
H
D
In
the
in
the
conversations
we
had
with
seq
water,
has
there
been
any
movement
at
all
on
the
conversation
about
compulsory
water
tanks
in
homes
in
order
to
contribute
to
this
water
storage
capability
of
the
city.
B
And
that
that's
a
decision
for
council
that
that
has
nothing
to
do
with
seq
water
and
it
doesn't.
A
B
Sorry
councillor,
we
we
were
going
to
cancel
that
just
for.
D
A
B
Is
here
now,
but
we
thought
we'd
hold
that
off
to
the
next
meeting.
