MOBILE BLACK SPOT PROGRAM
901. Hon COLIN de GRUSSA to the Minister for Regional Development:
I refer to the minister's
statement this afternoon relating to the federal government's Mobile
Black Spot Program.
(1) At the time
the minister delivered the statement to the house this afternoon, had she
written to the federal Minister for Regional Services, as stated?
(2) On what date did she write to
the federal minister?
(3) What amount
of funding has she allocated in the state budget to partner with round 4 of the
Mobile Black Spot Program as suggested in the statement?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the member for the question.
(1)–(3) I
have certainly signed the letter. I hope it has been sent. I will double-check
that. We are keen to participate in round 4. The federal government is
contributing $25 million. We anticipate that, as usual, WA might be lucky to
get a maximum $3 million of that. We certainly have enough set aside to be able
to match that federal funding.
