I thank the
member for the question.
(1) The
administered items budget line is a provision made mainly for election
commitments when further planning is required to deliver the proposals. I am
advised that it was the standard practice of the previous government to not
disclose those projects under development until they had been considered and
approved by government. However, funding provisions for the following projects
are included within the administered items budget line: Albany artificial surf
reef; Bunbury port planning; Collie Hospital upgrade; Collie TAFE upgrade; the
development of serviced industrial land; goldfields emergency telehealth;
Kalgoorlie motorsport precinct; Laverton Hospital; the regional
telecommunications project; and the two-year electronic monitoring trial.
(2) There has been no change to the
administered items budget line.
