(a) The $72.9 million only represents the recurrent portion of Mid West  Investment Plan (MWIP) funding for 2014-15 in the 2013-14 Budget (the Budget).
The Budget's MWIP total funding for 2014-15 was based on an overall  commitment to progressing the MWIP rather than a comprehensive list  of commitments to individual projects.
The Mid West Development Commission continues to successfully  pursue priority projects as contained in the MWIP using the full $220m  allocated by the State Government.
b)  The $32.2 million only represents the recurrent project portion of MWIP  funding for 2014-15 in the 2013-14 Mid Year Review (MYR).
The MYR's MWIP total funding for 2014-15 was based on an overall  commitment to progressing the MWIP rather than a comprehensive list  of commitments to individual projects.
c)  Not Applicable
