CYCLONE SEROJA — DISASTER RECOVERY FUNDING
ARRANGEMENTS
1022. Hon MARTIN ALDRIDGE to the Minister for Emergency Services:
I refer to the $104.5 million
disaster recovery package for communities impacted by cyclone Seroja.
(1) What is the
total amount of the $104.5 million disaster recovery arrangements that has been
spent to date?
(2) Will the minister please
provide a breakdown of how this funding has been spent?
(3) What is the
total amount that has been directly dispersed to families, businesses and
communities from grant applications?
(4) Has the state government earned
any interest from the $104.5 million; and, if so, to what value?
Hon
STEPHEN DAWSON replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. Honourable member, I have seen the question come
in this morning; I have not seen it come back this afternoon. Somebody will be
watching and if it is there, I will provide an answer to the member at the end
of questions.
