Tourism Western Australia
(a) [See tabled paper no. ]
(b)(i) The Western Australian government commits an annual amount to a major events program managed through Tourism Western Australia. The major events industry is highly competitive and Western Australia competes with interstate and international destinations to secure major events. Confidentiality of negotiations is critical in order to maintain the government’s ability to negotiate the best outcome on future events. Accordingly, the Minister for Tourism will notify the Auditor General’s office and both houses of Parliament that part of this question will not be answered as per section 82 of the Financial Management Act 2006.
