(a) Since the inception of the Western Australia Rural and Regional Marketing Assistance Scheme (WARRMAS) there have been two rounds of funding. The 2001/2002 WARRMAS round concluded in May 2002 and the 2002/2003 round in July 2002. Under WARRMAS there are two types of funding available: Type A – funds up to a maximum of $50,000 on a $ for $ basis was available to applications for additional marketing of significant infrastructure projects/attractions e.g.: Tree Top Walk. Type B – funds up to maximum of $100,000 on a $ for $ basis was available for new marketing initiatives promoting a regional experience or tourism packages.

The total allocation for the North West of the State of the proposed $2 million over four years is unknown at this stage, as more than $1.33 million in WARRMAS funding is yet to be allocated. However, the initiatives directly related to the North West of the State that have been approved to date are: Type B - Gascoyne Murchison Midwest Pathways Project - $50,000 Type B - Indian Ocean Tourist Drive - $28,000 Therefore, a total of $78,000 to date has been allocated to spend on programs to support new marketing and promotional initiatives in the North West of the State.

I am advised that:
(a) Since the inception of the Western Australia Rural and Regional Marketing Assistance Scheme (WARRMAS) there have been two rounds of funding. The 2001/2002 WARRMAS round concluded in May 2002 and the 2002/2003 round in July 2002. Under WARRMAS there are two types of funding available:
Type A – funds up to a maximum of $50,000 on a $ for $ basis was available to applications for additional marketing of significant infrastructure projects/attractions e.g.: Tree Top Walk.
Type B – funds up to maximum of $100,000 on a $ for $ basis was available for new marketing initiatives promoting a regional experience or tourism packages. Type B funding is only available to Regional Tourism Associations for marketing activities that demonstrate benefit to and support from two or more of Western Australia's ten regions.
In the 2001/2002 round of WARRMAS funding, a total of $320,500 was allocated to five separate projects. In the 2002/2003 round of WARRMAS funding, a total of $342,947 was allocated to 12 projects.
The total allocation for the North West of the State of the proposed $2 million over four years is unknown at this stage, as more than $1.33 million in WARRMAS funding is yet to be allocated.
However, the initiatives directly related to the North West of the State that have been approved to date are:
Type B - Gascoyne Murchison Midwest Pathways Project - $50,000
Type B - Indian Ocean Tourist Drive - $28,000
Therefore, a total of $78,000 to date has been allocated to spend on programs to support new marketing and promotional initiatives in the North West of the State.

Type B – funds up to maximum of $100,000 on a $ for $ basis was available for new marketing initiatives promoting a regional experience or tourism packages. Type B funding is only available to Regional Tourism Associations for marketing activities that demonstrate benefit to and support from two or more of Western Australia's ten regions.
