royalties for regions — funding programs
On behalf of Hon Kim Chance, I refer to the Minister for Regional Development’s media statement of 20 October 2008 concerning the royalties for regions program, in which he states that royalties for regions will be delivered through three new funds: the regional infrastructure and headworks fund, the country local government fund and the regional community services fund. (1) Will the following regional funding programs established by the former Labor government be abolished under the royalties for regions program — (a) the community facilities grants program; (b) the local government youth scholarships program; and (c) the outer metropolitan community fund? (2) If no, will the funding for these funds be over and above the royalties for regions program funding? (3) If no to (2), why not? Hon PETER COLLIER
