(b) what developer has been awarded the 168.4 hectare of residential land at the coastal suburb of Mulataga; and
(i) how many residential blocks have been released for sale in this master-planned 2,500 home coastal community;
(c) what overseas media have carried reports on this development to allow the Government to monitor the worldwide focus on how this Government provides solutions to create modern residential and inner city developments in the uppermost half of Australia;
(d) what international attention was referred to by the Minister in his announcement;
(e) will the Minister please provide the detail of each action that will make up the State Government’s Royalties for Regions program that will invest $1 billion across the next four years as part of the Pilbara Cities initiative to revitalise regional towns into dynamic places to live; and
(f) will the Minister please detail the more than $300 million that has already been committed; and
