Mr A.P. Jacob replied: (a)–(c) [See paper 1154.] The State Government has allocated $21.05 million Royalty for Regions funds over four years for improvements to camping and visitor facilities in national parks and reserves across the State. The proposed list of areas where funding is to be allocated has been developed to address as many of the priority areas as possible identified in recommendation 3 of the Western Australian Caravan and Camping Action Plan 2013–2018 (which relates to the development of camping sites on land managed by the Department of Parks and Wildlife) and the Government’s national park facilities and accommodation initiative, known as ‘Parks for People’. The attached table provides a list of indicative projects. Initial expenditure is being directed to planning and design. The final budget allocation for each project will be subject to planning and design requirements, approvals processes and tender prices. Similarly, the locations of works for the proposed commercial tourism lease projects are subject to further negotiation with lessees.
