(1)-(2) All funding allocated by the Board must relate to programs within the approved Operational Plan. I am informed that the Board requested that the BCITC submit its funding application against a range of criteria detailed within a funding submission guideline document provided to the Council, and that the submission has been fully evaluated against these criteria. The Board has provided details relevant to its assessment of the funding submission to the BCITC in three letters on this matter and has also met with senior representatives of the Council to debrief them on the Board's decision not to fund the BCITC submission for 2000/2001 (3) In fact, the Board has approved funding for two projects proposed by the BCITC within the Operational Plan subject to the provision of satisfactory follow up information and agreement of the terms of contract for the execution of these projects. (4) The Board has been appointed to manage the BCITF within the terms of the legislation and for the benefit of the building and construction industry in Western Australia. It is the Board's responsibility to manage the detailed strategic and operational matters associated with the use of the Fund
