LEE, PROF. L.

258 Mrs REDMOND (Heysen—Leader of the Opposition) (13 July 2011) (First Session). With respect to 2011-12 Budget Paper 4—Volume 3, p137, Sub-program 3.4—

What costs were involved with the appointment of Professor Laura Lee?

The Hon. J.W. WEATHERILL (Cheltenham—Premier, Minister for State Development): I have been advised of the following:

In 2010-11 approximately $60,000 was associated with Laura Lee's residency, including:

some general administration costs for finalising the residency, editing, design, printing, and distribution of the final report

a final payment made to Laura Lee on completion of the final report, as per her contract; and

an additional payment for preliminary planning associated with the establishment of the Integrated Design Commission (IDC), which emerged from the residency recommendations.

There were no costs associated with Laura Lee's residency in 2011-12.
