KIMBERLEY LNG PRECINCT — MUNICIPAL SERVICES TO INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES
I refer to the Premier’s media statement dated 6 May 2011 regarding the Kimberley LNG precinct. Have any funds been allocated to date for the delivery of municipal services to Indigenous communities; and, if yes, how much has been allocated and which organisation have the funds been allocated to? Hon NORMAN MOORE

I thank the member for some notice of this question. The delivery of municipal services to Indigenous communities arising from the 2006 state–commonwealth Bilateral Agreement on Indigenous Affairs is being implemented by the Department of Local Government. It is a separate matter from the native title agreements reached with respect to the Browse LNG precinct. There is no specific allocation of funding under the Browse LNG agreements for this purpose.
