Griffith irrigator Dean Salvestro fined $156,000 in NSW Land and Environment Court over $1.1m water theft.
In addition to his fine, Mr Salvestro was also ordered to pay $60,000 in legal costs, and to pay for a notice to be published in The Land and The Irrigator newspapers notifying the community of the conviction and offences.
NRAR investigation and enforcement director Lisa Stockley said the agency took the matter to court for the purpose of deterring others and to improve public confidence in water compliance.
Ummm, OK. Not sure of the deterrence value of an 80% discount on water used. I’m not overflowing in confidence. Think I need to top up with stolen confidence.
