APY LANDS, CAPITAL WORKS PROJECTS

216 Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (21 October 2008). For each capital works project listed in the budget papers for 2008-09 and which are the responsibility of the minister, how much has been spent to date on each project?

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Minister for Environment and Conservation, Minister for Early Childhood Development, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation, Minister Assisting the Premier in Cabinet Business and Public Sector Management): I have been advised of the following:

The 2008-09 Budget Papers do not separately list any Capital Works projects, for which the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation is responsible.

The 2008-09 Budget Papers however separately disclose an annual investment program for the Department of the Premier and Cabinet of $1.521 million. Whilst not separately identifiable in the Budget Papers, this encompasses the following capital initiative that falls with the responsibility of the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation:

$0.3 million associated with the construction of a house to accommodate the Manager of the Central Power Station on the APY lands. $0.55 million has been expended on this initiative as at 31 October 2008.
