COLLIE JUST TRANSITION
PLAN
1193. Hon Dr STEVE THOMAS to the Leader of the House
representing the Premier:
I refer to the $662 million Collie
just transition plan, incorporating the $547.4 million Collie transition
package, and I ask the following, as at the 14 October 2024.
(1) Excluding the
associated inherently temporary and finite construction employment generated
within the Collie just transition plan, how
many permanent full-time or part-time positions have been created in Collie directly associated with the $662 million transition plan?
(2) Given that Collie's energy sector employs
over 1 250 workers and contractors, how many of these workers have,
under the auspices of the transition plan, transitioned from the town's
energy sector workforce into alternative full-time or part-time employment?

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
Although the member did give some
notice, he is requesting considerable information in a limited period of time.
I encourage the member to place the question on notice to allow for an accurate
response to be prepared.
