(a)-(c) The "Workers accommodation village" project has not received funding  under the SuperTowns Development Project Fund.
The SuperTowns Development Project Fund was not intended to fund  every project identified in the growth plans. Now that the plans are in  place, priority projects may access funding through other Royalties for  Regions programs, State Government programs (e.g. Lotterywest), Commonwealth Government funds such as the Regional Development  Australia Fund or the private sector.
