BUILDING BONUS
583. Hon ROBIN SCOTT to the Leader of the House representing
the Premier:
I refer to the Premier's
announcement on 9 June 2020 that eastern states fly in, fly out workers would
be eligible to access our state's $20 000 building bonus grant.
(1) Will it be a condition
that the building bonus grant be spent on building in a regional town; and, if
not, why not?
(2) Will it be a condition
that the eastern states person remains for a minimum period of time; if so, how
long; and, if not, why not?
(3) If a family
leaves before any minimum period, will there be any consequences; and, if so,
how will the government enforce those consequences?
