Regional Growth Fund

In reply to Dr CLOSE (Port Adelaide—Deputy Leader of the Opposition) (26 November 2020). (Estimates Committee A)

The Hon. D.K.B. BASHAM (Finniss—Minister for Primary Industries and Regional Development): The full $15 million Regional Growth Fund has been allocated or committed to projects. As projects are paid in arrears on completion of milestones, actual payment data will vary from year of budget allocation.

The 2019-20 actual of $9.5 million on the grants and subsidies line on page 68 includes grant payments from the Regional Growth Fund, payments from the former Regional Development Fund, annual contribution payment to Regional Development Australia, payments for the Mobile Black Spot Program, the former Economic Sustainability Program and the former Upper Spencer Gulf and Outback Futures Fund.
