REGIONAL INVESTMENT FUND
I refer to the government’s 2004 commitment to allocate $80 million over four years to the regional investment fund, with funding becoming available in 2005-06. (1) How much of the $80 million has already been allocated to projects under the regional investment fund? (2) What funding will be made available under each of the five RIF programs over each of the three remaining years of the initiative? (3) Why is no funding available through the regional infrastructure funding program for 2006-07? Hon JON FORD

AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) To date, $31.182 million has been allocated to projects under the regional investment fund. This amount does not include the $18 million over four years that has been allocated to the nine regional development commissions to operate their own regional development schemes. (2) Under the regional infrastructure funding program, $9 million will be made available - $3 million in 2007-08 and $6 million in 2008-09. From the regional headworks development scheme, $6.482 million will be allocated - $2.482 million in 2006-07, $2 million in 2007-08 and $2 million in 2008-09. Under the indigenous regional development program, $8.77 million will be funded - $2.77 million in 2006-07, $3 million in 2007-08 and $3 million in 2008-09. Under the Western Australian regional initiatives scheme, $2.866 million will be available - $0.866 million in 2006-07, $1 million in 2007-08 and $1 million in 2008-09. To deliver strategic commitments, $2.95 million is allocated - $0.2 million in 2006-07 and $2.75 million in 2008-09. The excess regional development scheme will provide funding of $0.75 million - $250 000 for 2006-07, 2007-08 and 2008-09. A regional development scheme is operated by each of the nine regional development commissions, and each commission is allocated $500 000 a year to benefit regional Western Australia. (3) The 2005-06 funding round for the regional infrastructure funding program was heavily oversubscribed, and two years of allocated funding of $6.75 million was delivered as approved funding for successful projects this financial year.
