AnswerView source ↗
(1)-(3) The Indigenous Cultural Centre in Carnarvon is proceeding. We are hoping that it will be fitted out and capable of functions, including supporting a small workforce, by June. Hon Norman Moore : Which year? Hon JON FORD : This year. We are looking at some funding arrangements from various sources, including the commonwealth through the regional investment fund. Some work is being done to the gardens. I am trying to think of the manager’s name. For the life of me, I cannot remember her name, which is embarrassing. The centre has a manager. I do not know what the completion date is, but I will take the rest of the question on notice and supply a full brief on the current status.
