Regional Development Fund

Mr GRIFFITHS (Goyder) (14:44): Further to the Minister for Regional Development’s answer, in regard to the major projects component, which is $8.55 million, as you have stated, why is it that you have only given community, business and industry groups 17 days to lodge an application for this program?

The Hon. G.G. BROCK (Frome—Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Local Government) (14:44): I thank the member for Goyder for the question. My advice, through my department, is that there are quite a few projects already shovel-ready out there and that they will be very eager to apply for that. This will be analysed as we go along, bearing in mind that we have another three years of these programs to go.

The SPEAKER: A further supplementary, the member for Goyder.
