Central TAFE (a) Nil. (b) $200.00 Central West College of TAFE The Central West College of TAFE has incurred $780 since February 1993 for membership fees to the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Midwest). CY O'Connor College of TAFE a) Nil. b) Nil. Eastern Pilbara College of TAFE The Eastern Pilbara College of TAFE has been a member of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry at both Newman and Port Hedland. The current annual membership fee is $85.00 per year at Newman and $130 per year for Port Hedland. Due to the amalgamation of Hedland and Pundulmurra Colleges in 1998, the current Finance System (KCS) contains records from 1997 onwards. A data search prior to this would require re-installation of an older version of KCS and this would take a number of days. A similar re-installation of an old finance system holding Pundulmurra records would also be required. For the purposes of this parliamentary question it should be assumed that the total payment of membership fees since 1993 (ie. 8 years) is approximately: Newman Chamber of Commerce $ 680 Port Hedland Chamber of Commerce $1 040 Great Southern Regional College of TAFE Membership/subscription fee for membership to the Albany Chamber of Commerce and Industry is $171.50.
