I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) In July 2022,
I announced the latest round of the innovation booster grants, and one of the
recipients, Hemp Squared, a Bridgetown company, was awarded $19 000 to have
hemp blocks certified for use in social housing.
(2) The maximum
amount that can be applied for under the innovation booster grant is $20 000.
Applications will be open again in 2023 and
I encourage all honourable members to share this with their local electorates.
