Since 1973/74, the Commonwealth Government has provided to the States annually a relatively small sum of money under the National Estate Grants Programme for allocation to eligible projects. My Department requires all organisations interested in receiving an allocation of funds under the Programme to submit details of their proposed projects by 30th June each year. The projects are then assessed and recommendations forwarded to the Commonwealth Department of the Arts, Sport, the Environment, Tourism and Territories. 2. Queensland's allocation for new projects for 1987/88 is .... O> $385,333 and approval has been given for funding in 1988/89 "' and 1989/90 of $100,000 and $31,667 respectively as forward com.mi tments. 3. Applications totalling $2.7 million were received this year in three categories, namely State Government, National Trust and Other Organisations. In assessing applications, priority has been determined according to the building's architectural merit or historical significance; the degree of self-help displayed by the organisation; the population of the area concerned; the availability of other funds and the practicalities of the proposed project. 4. In accordance with established policy, each of the three categories mentioned will receive approximately one third of the allocation. Similarly, my officers have endeavoured to achieve a balanced geographical distribution between European, Aboriginal and natural environment projects. 5. Queensland's recommendations were forwarded to Senator Richardson, the responsible Commonwealth Minister, on 16th November, 1987, but it was only on 13th May, 1988, that a Commonwealth Officer visited Brisbane to d iscuss the State's recommendations. As a result of this meeting, agreement was reached in relation to the projects listed on the attached Schedule. Senator Ri chardson's agreement to the 1987/ 88 Programme is expected on 30th May, 1988, following wh ich he and I will issue a joint Press Statement to announce the app r oved projects.
