Unlocking Capital for Jobs Program

In reply to Mr MARSHALL (Dunstan—Leader of the Opposition) (26 July 2017). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier, Minister for the Arts): I have been advised that the Economic Development Board (EDB) commissioned an independent review of the Unlocking Capital for Jobs Program.

The review began in February 2016 and was completed in May 2016. The review was conducted by Ernst & Young. The completed report was forwarded to the Treasurer on 10 June 2016.

The EDB acted in the role of sponsor for the review and passed the report through to the Treasurer without modification.

The review investigated the soundness of the approach of the program, reviewed the program's design against what it was trying to achieve, and to suggest program modifications.

Specific questions regarding the contents of the report should be directed to the Treasurer.
