Northern Economic Plan

In reply to the Hon. R.I. LUCAS (21 June 2016).

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Employment, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister for Manufacturing and Innovation, Minister for Automotive Transformation, Minister for Science and Information Economy): I am advised:

The position of Strategic Coordinator for the Northern Economic Plan is funded equally between the NEP partner councils (50 per cent) and the State Government (50 per cent) for a period of three years.

The Strategic Co-ordinator reports to the NESIB. The Northern Economic and Social Implementation Board (NESIB) reports to the Community Leaders Group.
