NORTH WEST, ROYALTIES
I draw the Premier’s the attention to the views of north west local authorities, supported by the Minister for the Kimberley, Pilbara and Gascoyne, that a proportion of the royalties generated in that region should be returned to that region and ask - (1) Is the Government giving consideration to this proposal and, if not, why not? (2) Will funds provided under the regional investment fund be allocated to regions on the basis of the contribution each region makes to the State through royalties? Hon KIM CHANCE

I thank the Leader of the Opposition for some notice of the question. (1)-(2) This question has already been answered by both the Premier and Hon Tom Stephens in that the Government is setting up a regional development fund. The function of this fund was announced at the Kalgoorlie cabinet meeting and I table a copy of the Premier’s media statement. [See paper No 440.] SWAN BELLS, RESPONSIBILITY 242. Hon N.F. MOORE to the parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Culture and the Arts: (1) Is it proposed that the Swan Bells Foundation will take responsibility for the operation of the belltower? (2) If so, when will it be taken on? (3) If not, why not? (4) What has been the revenue and its source of the Swan Bells project since admission has been charged? (5) What expenditure has been incurred by the Swan Bells project since admission has been charged and what are the details of this expenditure? Hon G.T. GIFFARD replied: I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. (1)-(3) The Minister for Culture and the Arts is considering the options available before making a recommendation to the Cabinet. The belltower is managed by a transition committee chaired by the Director General of the Ministry for Culture and the Arts and including members of the Swan Bells Foundation. It is operated by Ogden IFC under its venue management contract with the Perth Theatre Trust. (4) The projected revenue to 30 June 2001 was $103 079. The actual revenue from 14 April 2001 to 14 June 2001 was $77 580 and consisted of: admission charges, $76 359; venue rental, $1 095; and donations, $125. (5) The projected expenditure to 30 June 2001 was $187 559. The actual expenditure to 14 June 2001 was $116 264 and consisted of: staff, $77 982; communications, $730; services, including advertising, cleaning contractors, electricity, public liability insurance, printing, securities and water rates consumption, $33 386; consumables, including stationery and minor equipment, $1 580; and maintenance, including contracts, buildings and plant, general lighting, buildings, general equipment and plant, $2 586. Given the lower than projected attendances, it has been necessary to review the anticipated expenditure. The deficit has therefore been curtailed by a range of efficiency measures.
