AnswerView source ↗
I thank the honourable member for some notice of this question. (1) The total equity within the South West Development Commission varies according to the position of assets and liabilities at the reporting date. The commission carries a loan portfolio liability with the Western Australian Treasury Corporation that is fully funded by Treasury, and the annual appropriation is reflected in the budget papers under item 183, capital contribution, on page 1193. The loan liability does not impact on the normal annual appropriations to fund the activities of the commission. (2) The government provides an annual appropriation to the South West Development Commission through the normal budget process.
