Senator Mackay
asked the Minister for the Environment and Heritage, upon notice, on 5 October 2000:
(1) What programs and/or grants administered by the department provide assistance to people living in the electorate of Richmond.
(2) What was the level of funding provided through these programs and grants for the 1996-97, 1997-98 and 1998-99 financial years.
(3) What is the level of funding provided through programs and grants that has been appropriated for the 1999-2000 financial year.
Senator Hill (Minister for the Environment and Heritage)
—The answer to the honourable senator's question is as follows:
The following table relates to particular grants that are being delivered to the electorate of Richmond.
(1) and (3)

* This amount represents the total allocation for Australia rather than for Richmond.
** This amount represents approved funding rather than appropriated funding.
*** Coastcare is jointly funded by the Commonwealth and NSW Governments. The figure above denotes both the Commonwealth and the NSW funding contribution. Commonwealth contributions for all NSW Coastcare projects are provided by a single grant for each funding year for the whole of NSW and not for individual projects.
**** It is not possible to identify how much of these funds were/are being spent within the electorate of Richmond as the funding covers the whole of NSW.
NB: The GLOBE Australia Program provides in-kind support to 4 schools in the electorate of Richmond. The GLOBE Australia Program is jointly funded through the Department of the Environment and Heritage and the Department of Education, Training and Youth Affairs. Each department provides $50,000 per annum. The current funding period is from July 1995 until December 2000.
