Strategic Industries Fund—2025–26 state
budget
421. Hon Dr Steve Thomas to the Leader of the House representing the Minister for
State Development:
I refer to the
government's budget announcement of an additional $500 million for the
strategic industries fund to support the delivery of common-user infrastructure
across the state's 13 strategic industrial areas.
(1) Has the funding allocation of the fund's now total
$1 billion strategic industries fund been finalised and, if so, what specific
funding allocation has been apportioned across each of the 13 SIAs?
(2) Was there a metropolitan SIA versus regional SIA
funding weighting in distributing and allocating the SIF, and how was this weighting
applied and calculated?
(3) What proportion of
the $1 billion SIF is allocated to the provision of power for regional SIAs, and
which regional SIAs have been apportioned funding for a power supply
upgrade?
