CYCLONE
SEROJA — RECOVERY GRANTS
277. Hon MARTIN ALDRIDGE to the Minister for Emergency
Services:
I refer to the $104.5 million disaster recovery funding
package for cyclone Seroja–impacted communities and the answer to
Legislative Council question without notice 60 asked on 17 February 2022.
(1) What is
the total amount to date of the $104.5 million disaster recovery funding
package that has been disbursed directly to applicants?
(2) How many applications that have been submitted are still
awaiting approval?
(3) Noting
that it has now been almost 12 months since cyclone Seroja impacted WA, what
action is the minister taking to ensure that disaster funding is reaching those
in need in a timely manner?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the
question.
There were some errors in the answer. I have just sent it
out, so if it comes back in by the end of question time, I will give it to him;
and, if not, I will give it to him tomorrow.
