Question Directed to the: Minister for Education and Training
Parliament: 40 Session: 1


Question

I refer to Local Projects, Local Jobs (LPLJ) programs funded by the Department of Education budget since March 2017, and I ask:
(a) which reporting and acquittal process did the department apply to the administration of these LPLJ programs;
(b) with respect to (a), was this process consistently applied to all LPLJ programs funded through the department;
(c) how did the department's reporting and acquittal process in respect of these LPLJ programs differ from processes the department typically applies to the administration of the other grant schemes it controls; and
(d) are each of the LPLJ programs funded by the department consistent with the evaluation criteria and strategic objectives of the department pursued via its other grant programs?

  1. All public schools are required to provide an acquittal report by 30 June 2018. Where applicable, public schools were also requested to provide a project status report on any unspent funds by 31 December 2017 and 30 June 2018. The non-government sector reporting and acquittal processes were detailed in the individual grant agreements and require a project acquittal report and “Certification of Statement for Grant Recipient” by 30 June 2018.
