RURAL PROPERTY ADDRESSING STANDARD

The Hon. J.S.L. DAWKINS (15:13): I have a supplementary question. I thank the minister for the answer, but will the money that has been allocated and quantified in recent days include assistance to rural property owners—many of whom are going through hard times—to actually fund those uniform signs which will not be inexpensive?

The Hon. CARMEL ZOLLO (Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Road Safety, Minister Assisting the Minister for Multicultural Affairs) (15:13): The councils are to provide the road naming and the signage—

The Hon. J.S.L. Dawkins: I'm talking about the individual property signs.

The Hon. CARMEL ZOLLO: The individual property signs, as in the number outside every property?

The Hon. J.S.L. Dawkins: Outside every property.

The Hon. CARMEL ZOLLO: I will get some further detail for the honourable member. Clearly, as I said, there is enormous willingness now to see this project to fruition, and I am pleased that local councils have come on board.
