Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 661 asked in the Legislative Council on 13 June 2019 by Hon Peter Collier

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

ROYALTIES FOR REGIONS — 2019–20 STATE BUDGET

661. Hon PETER COLLIER to the Minister for Regional Development:

I refer to page 192 of budget paper No 3 and the line item ''Administration and Administered Items'', which forms part of royalties for regions. Will the minister provide a list of the projects and programs, together with the amount of funding for each project or program, that fall under that line item� for each of 2019–20, 2020–21, 2021–22 and 2022–23?

Hon ALANNAH MacTIERNAN replied:

I thank the member for the question. This is a very similar question to the one asked earlier today by Hon Martin Aldridge.

The administered items budget line is a provision made mainly for election commitments when further planning is required to deliver the proposals. I am advised that it was the standard practice of the previous government to not disclose those projects under development until they had been considered and approved by government. However, funding provisions for the following projects are included within the administered items budget line; we are giving more information than traditionally was provided! The projects are: Albany artificial surf reef; Bunbury port planning; Collie Hospital upgrade; Collie TAFE upgrade; the development of serviced industrial land; goldfields emergency telehealth; Kalgoorlie motorsport precinct; Laverton Hospital; the regional telecommunications project; and the two-year electronic monitoring trial.
