I thank Hon Robyn McSweeney for the question. An amount of $3 million over two years has been provided to put together incentives to look at ways of encouraging or assisting local governments to find efficiencies through resource sharing or entering into regional council arrangements or whatever. I am currently putting together a grant structure. I expect that that will be prepared by next week, and I am happy to table that once I have put it together.
