I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. On behalf of the Minister for Regional
Development, I provide the following answer.
(1)–(2) On 7 September 2018, the minister announced the
first tranche of projects approved under the Collie Futures small grants
program with a total state government contribution of $678 000. The first eight
projects funded are: DC Two's modular behind-the-grid technology data
centre, $200 000; the Mellegers Family Trust's trails centre, $100 000;
Planwest WA's Collie distillery project, $90 000; Global Marketing
Technologies' Collie hay-pressing plant feasibility study and business
plan, $80 000; Collie Synfuels' Collie flagship project and fuel-cell
vehicle H 2 infrastructure and distribution study, $50 000; Collie
Synfuels' Collie flagship project, liquid H 2 export option
feasibility study, $50 000; Collie Cycle Club's Collie to Donnybrook
and Return Cycling Classic, $8 000; and Keip Filtration's hydration
hub, $100 000.
A number of applications are still
under consideration for funding and as such it would not be appropriate to
provide details on all applicants at this point.
