(a) No.
(i) There are 104 local governments that are yet to submit their final acquittals. Local governments are not required to submit acquittals for individual projects. The majority of local governments are undertaking more than one project through their Country Local Government Fund allocation and will submit acquittals at the completion of all projects.
(b) Local governments that have submitted acquittals are the City of Albany, the Shire of Cuballing, the Shire of Harvey, the Shire of Jerramungup, the Shire of Roebourne and the Shire of Sandstone.  All other local governments that received Country Local Government Funds in 2008-09 are yet to submit their 2008-09 acquittals.
