P. HOLLOWAY Legislative Council Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Small Business The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY (Minister for Mineral Resources Development, Minister for Urban Development and Planning, Minister for Small Business) (14:19): I seek leave to make a ministerial statement. Leave granted. The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY Legislative Council The Hon. P. HOLLOWAY: I was asked a question on Wednesday by the Hon. John Dawkins in relation to payments to business enterprise centres (BECs). I can inform the honourable member that I have been advised by my department that there has been no delay in payments to BECs. In terms of the funding agreement between the Minister for Small Business and each of the BECs, the payment of the funds will be in instalments of $150,000 at the beginning of each financial year during the term of this agreement but not before receipt of a valid tax invoice. Valid tax invoices for all the BECs have been received by DTED. All BEC invoices have been approved for payment. All invoices have been paid except for one, which is currently being processed and which will be paid within the next few days. This timing is consistent with the terms of the funding agreement. I was asked on Tuesday in a supplementary question from the Hon. Mark Parnell about access to technical documents on the plan4adelaide website. I can inform the honourable member that those documents should now be available online. The technical papers are not intended to form part of the plan and they are not part of the South Australian planning strategy. These papers have been used to inform the decision making process that has led to the plan for Greater Adelaide, but not all information contained in the technical papers has been incorporated into the plan and therefore are being provided to the public for information only.
