I thank the member for the question and for his interest in natural resources management and, of course, the wonderful agricultural industry in Western Australia, which contributes a substantial amount to our economy. It gives me great pleasure to inform the house of an announcement I made last week, which is about the third tranche of natural resources management allocations made to a range of community groups. In fact, 177 applications were received across the state, and 51 projects were allocated funds of up to a total of $4.9 million. Members will remember that, earlier, I made a number of allocations, the first of which involved some $5.4 million for some 15 smaller projects. That was announced in September. I announced a second tranche of major projects, worth $14.5 million, when we were in Bunbury. This now completes natural resources management funds for this financial year, supported by the NRM ministerial council and clearly supported by the Liberal–National government. It is also an opportunity now, through this range of projects, for smaller community groups to remain engaged in natural resources management. They are very good at understanding and highlighting the priorities that sit in the regions for NRM. This is an opportunity for them to use state funds to leverage other resources. In some cases a substantial amount of volunteer work goes into national resources management. Again, this highlights this government’s support of little community groups that truly make a difference. They have the passion and the understanding. It is a chance for us to leverage that and to maintain their support, and to make a difference to protecting our natural resources in Western Australia.
