NEIGHBOURHOOD COMMUNITY
CENTRES
620. Mrs A.K. HAYDEN to the Minister for Community Services:
I have a supplementary question. As
the minister has extended the funding process for three months, with another
apparently three months to be added onto that, is the minister aware of the
level of distress this is causing the community members and the staff who work
in these community centres by not being able to simply just sort out this basic
funding, and how long is this going to take?

AnswerView source ↗

As I said, I suggest that the
member, as the opposition spokesperson for community services, find out about
the tender process and find out about the periods of funding. All of those
extensions have been at the request of the sector so that we could extend the
consultation, and the overwhelming feedback I have is that that consultation
has been positive. There is now a set period of time for the tender process to
finish.
