I thank the member for some notice of this question. This must be a day for long answers. I table the answer and seek leave for it to be incorporated in Hansard . Leave granted. [See paper 2283.] The following material was incorporated - 1. There have been approvals for 16 farmers under the 2006 Dry Season Assistance Package. Experience shows that the bulk of applications are likely to come in the period after the completion of harvest (during January to March). 2. While I cannot provide specific detail regarding how much as been paid to local business under various capital works initiatives, I can provide some examples of the opportunities that have been taken and are available. - The Minister for Planning and Infrastructure, Alannah MacTiernan, recently announced that dry season affected farmers will have opportunities to work on the upgrade of the Mimegarra Road project in the Shire of Dandaragan. The Shire of Dandaragan has commenced this work, in conjunction with Main Roads, and has engaged some 15 farmers under contract for aspects of the work. The value of this project is around $4 million. Main Roads is also using the Shire of Gingin to deliver works on the Brand Highway valued at around $1 million. - A number of the 12 shires in the dry season declared area have also sought to utilise the $3 million of 2006/07 funding available to them under the Federal Roads to Recovery program to engage local farmers to deliver services. 3(a) The small Business Development Corporation is the responsibility of my colleague, the Minister for Small Business. The response to this question has been provided by the Small Business Development Corporation. Small Business Centres The SBDC manages the new Small Business Centre network throughout the State. The Centres have now been established in 19 regional centres from Esperance to Kununurra providing support and facilitation services for new and existing small businesses in regional Western Australia.

Where specialist knowledge is required in areas such as Commercial Tenancy and Franchising, Centres clients are referred to specialists at the SBDC. Small Business Initiatives Fund The Small Business Initiatives Fund (SBIF) provides a project funding source for the exclusive use of the Small Business Centre Network.

A ‘small business’ means a business undertaking - (a) which is wholly owned and operated by an individual person or by individual persons in partnership or by a proprietary company within the meaning of the Corporations Act 2001 of the Commonwealth and which (i) has a relatively small share of the market in which it competes; (ii) is managed personally by the owner or owners or directors, as the case requires; and (iii) is not a subsidiary of, or does not form part of, a larger business or enterprise; or (b) which is declared by the Governor by Order in Council pursuant to subsection (2) to be a small business for the purposes of this Act.
