Lotterywest advises:
(1) All Lotterywest grants must be made in accordance with the Lotteries Commission Act 1990 (as amended). The Lotterywest website also contains guidance about grants that may be supported for vehicles.
(2) Vehicles must be used for the approved purpose agreed during the Lotterywest grants process. Any change to use must be agreed between the parties.
(3) There are no identified plans for the review of these.
(4) (a) Between September 5th 2011 and September 21st 2011 a series of emails were exchanged between a complainant and Lotterywest concerning a complaint about the use of a bus purchased with a Lotterywest grant. The matter was investigated to the satisfaction of Lotterywest and the complainant was advised of this.
(b) The complainant requested that Lotterywest keep their details confidential. The emails relating to this complaint are therefore not available for tabling.
