Department of Planning and Infrastructure
(a) The Department for Planning and Infrastructure (DPI) and the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) each have a website.
(b) The DPI and the WAPC are not aware of the creation of any new websites.
(c) A website is not a discrete facility. It provides a single 'window' for accessing content and transactions provided by a variety of systems and authors. The level of integration of a system with the website varies significantly and the boundary between what constitutes the website versus the system components is not easily resolved. Costs are therefore shared across a wide cross-section of the agency and are not assigned to categories clearly identified as 'website'.
(d) Neither DPI nor the WAPC requested website funding increases in time for the 2008 mid-year review.
