Parliament: 40 Session: 1

LOCAL PROJECTS, LOCAL JOBS — STEPHEN MICHAEL FOUNDATION

524. Hon PETER COLLIER to the Leader of the House representing the Minister for Sport and Recreation:

I refer to the Stephen Michael Foundation.

(1) Was $350 000 over three years provided to the Stephen Michael Foundation from the Local Projects, Local Jobs program?

(2) If yes to (1), can the minister confirm that the funding will cease from 30 June 2020?

(3) If yes to (2), why will there not be ongoing funding for the foundation after 30 June 2020?

Hon SUE ELLERY replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question.

(1)–(2) Yes. A three-year funding commitment was made for $350 000 over three years, made up of $175 000 for 2017–18, $105 000 for 2018–19 and $70 000 for 2019–20. The 2019–20 agreement concludes on 30 June 2020.

(3) The Stephen Michael Foundation has secured $150 000 per annum for the next two years from Healthway, and an additional $521 000 from Lotterywest over a three-year period.
