I thank the member for the question.
(1) Sixty projects are to be
delivered.
(2) I table the attached document.
[See paper 1284.]
(3) All projects are election
commitments.
(4) Not applicable.
(5) As the member
would expect, the risk assessment, due diligence and funding agreement
processes undertaken by the regional development commissions for each grant
have resulted in some refinement of project scope and costs. However, I am
advised that all projects are being delivered in line with the general intent
of the election commitment.
