I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1)–(2) The eligibility and time frames for the very
successful McGowan government building bonus program are clearly stated on the state government's
website as well as clearly displayed as part of the application process.
(3) The
information to answer this question is not readily available. To meet the
implementation time frame, the system for processing the building bonus grants
was built in stages. The data from additional reporting functionality to provide detailed information about grant payments and
recipients is expected to be available by the end of November 2020.
