(a)-(b) The Department of Local Government and Communities provided grants to local governments for various capacity building services in 2010--11, 2011--12 and 2012--13. Those grants were used by local governments to engage service providers from a panel of preferred suppliers, which includes CAMMS.
The department's grant acquittal focuses on the successful delivery of capacity building projects, and not which companies local governments may have engaged to deliver these projects.
