It is a legislative requirement of the Western Australian Future Fund Act 2012 to invest an amount equal to 1% of the forecast royalty income for the 2016-17 and each subsequent financial year into the Fund, and to preserve the Fund’s capital into perpetuity. The Government is not seeking to amend this legislative requirement.
