I thank the honourable member for some notice of this
question.
(1) State of
the Regions: Regional Development in WA is a 10–part event series, over
a two-year period.
(2) It is $100 000, excluding GST.
(3) The
Committee for Economic Development of Australia agreed to provide the
Department of Regional Development with a tax invoice for payment of the
sponsorship fee of $100 000 plus GST, which is $110 000 in total; provide DRD
with a list of the sponsorship features and the time lines for delivery of
requirements; refund the entire sponsorship fee in the event that it is
necessary to cancel the series; and refund the appropriate portion of the
sponsorship fee in the event that it is necessary to cancel one or more events
within the series.
The Department of Regional
Development agreed to pay CEDA the sponsorship fee of $100 000 plus GST, and
pay the sponsorship fee before the first event in the series takes place in
July 2014.
(4) DRD is the
series sponsor and CEDA is able to secure additional sponsorship including from
other state government agencies. DRD is aware that other agencies have
sponsored the events that have been held to date, but is not aware of the value
of the sponsorships.

approached each of the regional development commissions in 2012 and proposed
the event as individual events. In consultation with the nine regional
development commissions, the CEDA event proposal was submitted at a Regional
Development Council meeting. DRD progressed the sponsorship proposal with CEDA
as the one point of contact for the coordination of the CEDA series.
