LOCAL GOVERNMENT — AMALGAMATIONS
800. Mr D.A. TEMPLEMAN to the Minister for Local Government:
I have a supplementary question. Given it is now several
weeks since the Local Government Advisory Board presented its report and
recommendations to the minister, why has the minister delayed his announcement,
and is it because the Premier is not happy with its recommendations?

The Premier is very happy with its recommendations—we
had a long discussion about it—and cabinet as well. It is all going
well. Everyone thinks it is just one nice shiny map. Behind that, a lot of work
has been done. It has 750 pages. It goes into financial modelling, community of
interest and sustainability. A lot of information is in there to do with water
structure and temporary names. There is a lot of stuff in that report that has
to come out as well. We are working through it. In due course we will have that
announcement out.
