I thank the honourable member for some notice of the
question.
(1)–(3)
The current total value of the resources community investment initiative
contributed by partners is $750 million. The
RCII is an ongoing initiative that was established by the state government to
partner with the resources sector to support significant, iconic
projects such as the Aboriginal Cultural Centre and the Perth Concert Hall, as
well as regionally significant projects such as Aboriginal remote community
housing. These projects will benefit future generations and require significant
planning. In July 2024, the government announced that Rio Tinto will contribute
$20 million from its RCII commitment towards the major redevelopments at Tom
Price and Paraburdoo hospitals. Company contributions towards a range of other
projects are currently being negotiated and will be announced at the
appropriate time.
