(1)  Yes.  Whilst the Department of Water (DoW) has not undertaken detailed costings for each action in the Plan, this is part of the Plan's implementation process that actions in regional water plans will be integrated into the DoW's annual business planning cycle.  The Plan largely directs the prioritisation of work by the DoW and the Water Corporation and therefore most actions will be funded under existing programs.  Any unfunded or partly funded actions will be subject to specific funding proposals as part of the normal business planning cycle.
(a)  Prior to the release of the Pilbara Regional Water Plan.
(b)  Not applicable.
(2) This information is unable to be provided, as a final decision on this funding is still to be made by Cabinet.
