Ms Vamvakinou
asked the Minister for Transport and Regional Services, upon notice, on 2 March 2004:
What sums were allocated in local government financial assistance grants in (a) 2001-2002, (b) 2002-2003, and (c) 2003-2004 to the (i) City of Hume, (ii) City of Brimbank, (iii) Shire of Moreland, and (iv) City of Nillumbik.
Mr Anderson (Minister for Transport and Regional Services)
—The answer to the honourable member's question is as follows:
Each year the Federal Government provides financial assistance grants to Local Government paid through the States under the Local Government (Financial Assistance) Act 1995. The financial assistance grants have two components - general purpose grants and identified local roads grants - and both components are untied in the hands of the receiving council. This means that councils are able to spend the grant (including the local road grant) according to the priorities of their communities.
Distribution of these grants is detailed in the Report on the Operation of the Local Government (Financial Assistance) Act 1995 (commonly known as the National Report) tabled in Parliament as soon as practicable after 30 June each year. In the following table, financial assistance grants for 2003/04 are estimates.
Council Name | 2001/02 | 2002/03 | 2003/04 |
Moreland (C) | $7,374,870 | $6,820,677 | $6,396,015 |
Brimbank (C) | $9,655,849 | $8,977,393 | $9,301,078 |
Hume (C) | $6,840,779 | $6,459,885 | $6,625,551 |
Nillumbik (S) | $2,729,882 | $3,072,312 | $3,105,907 |
