ABORIGINAL COMMUNITY ASSISTANCE FUNDING

In reply to Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (12 October 2010).

Ms PORTOLESI (Hartley—Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister for Multicultural Affairs, Minister for Youth, Minister for Volunteers): I advised the committee that the Chief Executives Group on Aboriginal Affairs (CEGAA) visited Amata and Mimili on the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands.

I have since been advised that the visit to the APY Lands was undertaken by the. Senior Management Council (SMC). The SMC prepared a report which was taken to CEGAA. The outcomes were also incorporated into the local implementation plans (LIPs) for Amata and Mimili.

A formal response to this question will be provided to the committee for the Hansard supplement.
