Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 483 asked in the Legislative Council on 14 June 2018 by Hon Jim Chown

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

COMMUNITY RESOURCE CENTRES — FUNDING CLASSIFICATIONS

483. Hon JIM CHOWN to the Minister for Regional Development:

I refer to the proposed funding cuts by the McGowan government to the 103 Community Resource Centres listed on the proposal to implement a two-tier system. Under the McGowan proposal, 78 CRCs will be classified as tier 1, and 25 CRCs as tier 2. Tier 1 will receive $70 000 per annum at a 30 per cent reduction, and tier 2 receive a 50 per cent reduction, or $50 000 per annum. This equates to total funding of $6.71 million. Where will the remaining $1.29 million be allocated from the $8 million budgeted for CRCs in the 2019–20 budget?

Hon ALANNAH MacTIERNAN replied:

This funding allocation is currently a proposal presented for stakeholder feedback. At this time, the $1.29 million balance of the $8 million budget in the proposal is allocated as follows: $500 000 for a traineeship program and $790 000 for support of the CRC program, which represents a 53.1 per cent reduction on the previous program support budget.
