Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 1346 asked in the Legislative Council on 25 November 2020 by Hon Martin Aldridge

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT — LOCAL PROJECTS, LOCAL JOBS PROGRAM

1346. Hon MARTIN ALDRIDGE to the Minister for Regional Development:

I refer to Legislative Council question on notice 1075, answered on 9 May 2018, and, specifically, the Local Projects, Local Jobs grants awarded in Geraldton and the midwest.

(1) Can the minister please identify the projects that were funded in the region and the funding amount?

(2) Can the minister please advise of any change in scope of the projects between the funding commitment being made and the grant agreement; and, if so, please detail the change?

(3) Have all granted funds been acquitted; and, if not, please provide details?

(4) Given that Geraldton was the only place in my electorate that was granted Local Projects, Local Jobs funding, can the minister please advise how other communities in other locations can access funding under the scheme?

Hon ALANNAH MacTIERNAN replied:

I thank the member for some notice of the question.

(1)–(2) I table the attached information identifying the list of projects that were funded in the City of Greater Geraldton, the funding amounts and the project that has been varied.

[See paper 4672.]

(3) Out of 34 projects in total that were funded, 26 have been acquitted to date, two have been completed and are under assessment and six projects remain in progress.

(4) This is not an ongoing program. It was an election commitment for term 1.
