ROYALTIES FOR REGIONS —
STATE BUDGET 2019–20
585. Hon MARTIN ALDRIDGE to the Minister for Regional Development:
I refer to budget paper No 3 of the
2019–20 state budget, chapter 7, in relation to the $135 million in
budget funding allocated under ''Administered Items''.
(1) Can the
minister please identify the state and federal government funding separately by
financial year for the life of the expected project?
(2) Can the
minister please identify whether any of the projects identified under ''Administered
Items'' were subject to election commitments given during the course of
the 2019 federal election campaign; and, if so, by whom, and the amount of
funding committed?
Hon ALANNAH MacTIERNAN
replied:
I thank the
member for the question.
(1) The funds were all provided by the state
government, so that sum of money refers entirely to state government
investment.
(2) The global
allocation includes a provision for Collie and Laverton Hospitals. We look
forward to the federal government honouring its commitment to Laverton Hospital
in full.
