QuestionView source ↗
The State budget has highlighted the fact that competition for skilled tradesmen and builders is causing delays in conservation projects funded under the Heritage Grants Program. Will the Minister please advise -
(1) What conservation projects were undertaken for the following years -
(a) 2004-2005; and
(b) 2005-2006?
(2) What conservation projects are planned for 2006-2007?
(3) Which conservation projects were affected by the delays caused by the competition for skilled tradesmen and builders for the period 2004 to 2006?
(4) How long were each of those delays?
(5) Will any of the conservation projects planned for 2006-2007 be affected by delays too?
(a) If so, which ones?
(6) What has the State Government done to alleviate the delays?
(7) In 2004-2005 the actual expenditure was $6,300,000 and for 2005-2006, the estimated actual expenditure is $5,279,000 but the 2006-2007 budget is only $4,767,000. Why is the budget allocation for Heritage decreasing when the State Register and the number and complexity of development referrals continues to grow?

one project was allocated funding under the Conservation Incentive Program in 2004/05 (b) 29 projects were allocated funding under the Heritage Grants Program in 2005/06, and one project was allocated funding under the Conservation Incentive Program in 2005/06 (2) This information is not known at this time (applications under the Heritage Grants Program 2006/07 are currently being assessed). Projects totalling about $1million will be allocated funding. (3) Many projects have been impacted by the current high demand for skilled labour in Western Australia as a result of the development boom. An exhaustive survey of each project has not been undertaken, but generally projects are taking longer to complete (see answer to question 4). (4)The average length of time to complete Heritage Grants Program funded projects has increased from about 16 months to about 26 months per project; however the actual average time delays for 2004/05 and 2005/06 cannot be determined at this stage because a number of projects are yet to be completed. (5) The conservation projects to be funded under the 2006/07 round of the program are not known at this time. (a) N/A (6) Changes to apprenticeships in the building and construction industry from 1 May 2006 include: · Five traditional apprenticeships in the building and construction industry - bricklaying, carpentry and joinery, plastering, tilelaying and wall and ceiling fixing - can now be completed in three year terms instead of four year terms. · There are six new apprenticeships in the housing sector - bricklaying (housing), carpentry (housing, joinery (housing), plastering (housing), wall and ceiling fixing (housing) and wall and floor tiling (housing). Existing apprentices already working in this sector may be able to transfer to the new two year apprenticeships. The Heritage Council conducts occasional workshops on specialist heritage techniques and conservation practices, the most recent being a Lime Day Workshop during the 2006 Fremantle Heritage Festival. Twenty participants attended this workshop, at which the nationally acclaimed conservation specialist David Young demonstrated the skills and practice of using slaked lime putties, mixing mortar and repointing joints in masonry. (7) The figures shown represent the amounts appropriated by Parliament for the Heritage Council to deliver services. The amounts are not expenditure figures. The appropriation of $6,330,000 includes $1,850,000 for the restoration of Saint George's Cathedral; the $5,279,000 appropriation includes $600,000 for the restoration of Saint Patrick's Basilica. Excluding these one-off appropriations for restoration works, the budget allocation for the Heritage Council has in fact increased: i.e. $4,480,000 to $4,679,000 to $4,767,000.
