I thank the member for some notice of this question. The Department of Local Government and Regional Development is not advised of contracts between local governments. Therefore, it is not necessarily aware of all arrangements. However, the department is aware that the City of Canning provides some financial reporting support for three local governments. In addition, as Minister for Local Government, it has been drawn to my attention that at least one other council has been providing services to a non-metropolitan council. Regrettably, its name has not come to mind; I thought that it would. As soon as I have that information, I will make it available to the member.
