Senator O'Brien
asked the Minister representing the Minister for Transport and Regional Services, upon notice, on 9 June 1999:
(1) What programs and/or grants administered by the Minister's department provide assistance to people living in the federal electorate of Bass.
(2) What was the level of funding provided through these programs and grants for the 1997-98 and 1998-99 financial years.
(3) What level of funding provided through these programs and grants has been appropriated for the 1999-2000 financial year.
Senator Ian Macdonald (Regional Services, Territories and Local Government)
—The Minister for Transport and Regional Services has provided the following answer to the honourable senator's question:
The attached table provides the answers to questions (1), (2) and (3).
(1) | (2) | (2) continued | (3) |
|---|---|---|---|
Name of Program/ Grant Administered by the Department of Transport and Regional Services | Funding for 1997-98 (actual amounts) | Funding for 1998-99 (estimates unless otherwise indicated) | Appropriation for1999-2000 |
Financial Assistance Grants (including identified local road grants) | $9,637,521 | $10,031,621 | Allocations have not yet been determined, but would be of the same magnitude as for 1998-99 |
Tamar River Environs Project | $500,000 | ||
Local Government Development Program(LGDP) * | $90,000 | $94,000 | |
Inveresk Railyards Redevelopment Project | $3,435,793 | $1,659,213(actual) | |
Rural Communities Program | $85,393 | $140,940(actual) | $144,840 |
LGDP—Statewide projects * | $340,000 | $176,000 | |
Rail Reform Transition Program * | $330,000 | ||
Tasmanian Freight Equalisation Scheme * | $41.4m | $41.8m | $56.4m |
Bass Strait Passenger Vehicle Equalisation Scheme * | $12.94m | $14.8m | $11.2m |
Export Gateways Initiative: Tasmanian Export Council * | Nil | $120,000 | Allocation has not yet been determined. |
* The program/grant is likely to provide assistance to people living in Bass but the exact level of assistance is unable to be disaggregated from the program budget. (ie the program/grant assists the greater Tasmanian community, not just the electorate of Bass).
