Future Jobs Fund Program

657 The Hon. S.C. MULLIGHAN (Lee) (27 February 2019). How much of the budgeted funds for the Future Jobs Fund remains unspent as at 31 December 2018?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier): I have been advised:

$120 million in funding is being administered by the Department of Treasury and Finance for grants and loans under the Future Jobs Fund.

At 31 December 2018, a total of $24 million had been paid to recipients under executed grant and loan contracts.

Further contracts are in the process of being finalised, and the value of unspent funds will reduce over time as recipients make claims under executed contracts once specific milestones are met.
