(1) An amount of $25 million was originally budgeted to be spent in 2001-02; $9.5 million of this has been deferred. Consequently, $15.5 million is budgeted to be spent this year. (2) The commitments from the regional investment fund are as follows - Project Commitment ($’000) South West Online 5 500 Shark Bay Interpretive Centre 5 000 Point Samson fishing platform 500 Western Australian Tourism Commission promotion 3 000 Forestry industry assistance 16 500 Total 30 500 Details of precisely when the funding will be provided are still to be determined. (3) An amount of $4.8 million, based on the revised budget for the regional investment fund. (4) An amount of $565 000 has already been allocated. It is understood that a further $942 820 is likely to be allocated in the near future through the regional development scheme administered by the regional development commissions.
