Renewal SA

1399 The Hon. A. PICCOLO (Light) (24 September 2019). Can you explain how the community service obligation payments received by Renewal SA can be cut from a 2018-19 budgeted figure of $37.3 million to $7.6 million this financial year, and even less over the forward estimates, without adverse effects upon valuable community activities and programs?

The Hon. S.K. KNOLL (Schubert—Minister for Transport, Infrastructure and Local Government, Minister for Planning): I have been advised the following by Renewal SA—

From 2019-20 onwards, Renewal SA will receive cash equity contributions to fund capital expenditure for various projects whereas in past years this was funded by community service obligations (CSO). Funding for non-capital expenditures continues to be provided by way of CSO payments. There are no adverse impacts to the projects impacted given the required level of funding provided by government to Renewal SA remains unchanged.
