GRANTS AND SUBSIDIES

In reply to Mr PENGILLY (Finniss) (1 July 2008).

The Hon. J.D. HILL (Kaurna—Minister for Health, Minister for the Southern Suburbs, Minister Assisting the Premier in the Arts): I have been advised:

A single one off grant of $22,000 was given to the Medical Devices Partnering program for the purpose of industry engagement. The medical devices sector has been identified as a sector that has the capacity to diversify the southern Adelaide economy.

The Office provided no other grants in 2007-08 however it did provide:

sponsorship towards the Southern Adelaide Innovation Forum, $7,000

sponsorship towards the Fleurieu Art Trail Map, $2,000

$5,000 towards the consultancy costs of the Noarlunga Centre Transit

Orientated Development Guidelines Study.
