Outback Communities Authority

In reply to Mr TELFER (Flinders) (5 July 2023). (Estimates Committee B)

The Hon. G.G. BROCK (Stuart—Minister for Local Government, Minister for Regional Roads, Minister for Veterans Affairs): I have been advised:

As a result of the significant increase in its funding from the state government, the Outback Communities Authority (OCA) will be working to realign its operations and is in a much better position to address a range of these recommendations in its day-to-day operations.

If the OCA is of the view that legislative changes are needed to better position it to play the vital role it performs to support our outback communities, I am prepared to consider these.

I meet regularly with the OCA's presiding member, Ms Jan Ferguson, and look forward to continuing discussions with her as the OCA uses the most significant support it has received from the state government since its creation in 2010, to improve services in outback communities.
