I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1)–(3) A
total of 120 head contractor relief scheme claims have been or are currently
being assessed by the Department of Finance and the Department of Communities.
That includes 107 claims that have been approved, with financial relief
payments totalling $4.98 million. I have asked the Department of Finance to
advise how we can expedite assessments, including those currently in progress,
to provide relief for eligible head contractors as quickly as possible.
Honourable member, I met with the
Master Builders Association of WA last week and discussed how we might do that.
