CYCLONE SEROJA — HERITAGE BUILDINGS
310. Mr R.S. LOVE to the Minister for Heritage:
I have a supplementary question.
Could the minister clarify whether, apart from in the last five minutes, he has
discussed this matter with the Minister for Emergency Services, and whether an
application is with the federal government as part of the category C
arrangements to provide some of this funding for heritage buildings in the
affected area?
Mr D.A. TEMPLEMAN
replied:
I am sure that the member could
direct that specific aspect of the question to the minister responsible who is
leading this, and leading this very well, I might
say. The Minister for Emergency Services has been in that region on numerous
occasions, the most recent on the weekend, and I certainly note that he has
been there probably more times than the member has been in the last few months.
The reality is that there is a comprehensive recovery program being overseen by the Minister for Emergency Services,
including responding to a number of the challenges that have been
demonstrated by the disaster that occurred earlier this year, and we are very
confident that both the state and federal governments working closely with
local government can deliver the outcomes that are required to support those
people living and running businesses in that area.
The SPEAKER: Members, that
concludes question time.
