(1) $970,338 has been spent to-date from a $30 million program to which the State and Commonwealth contribute equally. In addition to this, since 2001, the DoW and its predecessors have spent approximately $600,000 each year on monitoring, assessment, on-ground works, catchment management and consultation in the Collie River catchment. (2) - (3) The $600,000 is from Consolidated Funds allocated to the DoW. For the $30 million program, $15 million is from the National Action Plan for Salinity and Water Quality ( a federal program) and the $15 million State contribution is from Water Corporation. (4) It is estimated that a further $29 million will be spent over the next 18 months from the Collie River project as part of the National Action Plan for Salinity and Water Quality. In addition the ongoing program of $600,000 each year for monitoring, assessment, on-ground works, catchment management and consultation in the Collie River catchment is expected to continue for next financial year.
