(a) - (b) Yes. In 2001-2002, the routine and restoration maintenance allocative mechanism to districts comprised two parts, one being a base allocation determined by the types of schools in the district, and the other relating to the total maintenance needs of the schools in the district, as identified by the Building Condition Assessment (BCA) process, compared to the maintenance needs of all schools in the State.
Subsequently, the process was reviewed and in 2002-2003 the funding was allocated on the basis of the identified maintenance need only for each district. There is no longer a base allocation.
