In the Bunbury Herald on 15th May 2018 the Member for Collie- Preston, Mr Murray, said the funding announced for the South West was an improvement for the region compared to previous budgets. “The $406 million, that is almost half a billion dollars for the South West, that makes up for four years when previously under Royalties for Regions we missed out badly,” he said. Will the Minister please provide a breakdown of all expenditure that makes up this $406m dollars as quoted by Mr Murray?

The figures in Table 1 are based on asset investment data provided by agencies at the time of the 2018-19 Budget cut-off.  These estimates understate the total asset investment in the region as they exclude spending that is part of broader whole-of-State programs or where projects cannot be attributed to a particular region.
