(2) The amount allocated in the Heritage Council's budget this year is $180,000 representing an increase of $85,000 over previous years. (3) Four Regional Heritage Advisors are employed by the Heritage Council of Western Australia servicing 4 regions and 2 services supporting individual local governments (Albany and Kalgoorlie-Boulder). (4) There are 16 hours per month allocated for each of the services, except for the Kalgoorlie-Boulder service which stands at 22 hours per month. (5) The number of hours that will be provided is dependent on the extent to which local governments are prepared to commit to the program from 2002. Discussions between the Heritage Council and a number of local governments are in the preliminary stage, and will be progressed over the next 2-3 months. (6) The future level of funding is likely to be similar to that budgeted in 2001/02.
