[Supplementary Information No A4.] Question: Mr D.J. Kelly asked the minister to provide details on the timeliness, content and the person who provided the advice on the Ashfield Flats fire that occurred last year. Answer: (a) 23 September 2015. (b) Advice was provided by Mr Jarad Finneran, Principal Policy Advisor. (c) Advice was provided in writing. [ASSEMBLY Estimates Committee A — Supplementary Information 2016] E627
[Supplementary Information No A5.] Question: Mr D.J. Kelly asked when the Department of Fire and Emergency Services became aware of the pentachlorophenol contamination of the groundwater at and around the Forrestfield facility; what concentration of PCP contamination was found at Forrestfield and what is the safe concentration according to health standards; what program of action the department has planned to manage and minimise the effects of the contamination; who is responsible for the monitoring of the groundwater contamination and how often and over what area samples will be taken for this monitoring; who does the actual testing and for how long they have this contract; what budget over the forward years has been planned to continue both the monitoring and remedial action, if necessary, to be carried out; how does it plan to keep the public informed with regard to both the extent of contamination and the monitoring process; and what compensation package is envisaged if the containment actions are not satisfactory to the nearby residents and primary school of Forrestfield. Answer: (1) In July 2009, the first confirmed detections of Perfluoroalkyl (PFOS) in non-potable/ recreational groundwater were from samples collected from the Forrestfield facility. (2) (a) On 8 April 2016, DFES was advised that the most recent concentrations of PFOS were: • Bore 1 = 13.1 ug/l; • Bore 2 = 0.71 ug/l; and • Bore 3 = 10.8 ug/l. (b) Until February 2016, no Australian guidelines were available. In 2016, the Department of Environment Regulation’s (DER) Interim Guideline on the Assessment and Management of PFOS and Polyfluoroakyl Substances (PFAS) provides a PFOS criterion of 0.5 µg/L for drinking water and 5 µg/L for non-potable and recreational uses. When this guideline became available, DFES commenced monthly testing of groundwater. (3) The Department of Fire and Emergency Services (DFES) has taken the following actions to manage on site contamination: • Bore 1 was decommissioned on 8 April 2016; • Bore 2 will continue to be used and monitored; and • Bore 3 will be used for reticulation of non-edible plants. (4) DFES and LandCorp are responsible for monitoring groundwater contamination. (5) DFES contracts QED Environmental Services to undertake monthly testing of three bores at the contaminated site. Samples are collected from nine off-site properties located within 1 km of the site to evaluate if the contamination has extended off-site. (6) Golder Associates was contracted by Landcorp to conduct on site testing at Forrestfield in 2009, 2011 and 2016. (7) DFES has recurrent budget to complete monthly on site testing of groundwater. DFES will require additional funds to implement any recommendations from the Department of Environment Regulation (DER) pending the outcome of further on and off site testing. (8) It is currently proposed to provide information on the results of off-site bore sampling to surrounding residents through direct mail. Residents within a 1km radius were informed about the issue through a bore water use survey. Where private bores are required for preliminary sampling, the bore owner will receive information on their own bore results. Where sampling is not proposed at this stage, residents will receive general information on the off-site results and future investigation plans. If off-site samples indicate detections of PFOS away from the site, a comprehensive community engagement strategy will be developed and implemented. (9) Consideration of compensation or remediation programs is premature as the investigation is still to confirm if migration of PFOS away from the fire training facility has occurred. E628 [ASSEMBLY Estimates Committee A — Supplementary Information 2016]
[Supplementary Information No A6.] Question: Ms M.M. Quirk asked the minister to detail how time is measured from the time a 000 call is received. Answer: A standard definition for ‘total response time’ is used across fire agencies in Australia and is the basis for reporting response time data both at State and National levels. ‘Total Response Time’ includes three components which are measured as follows:
Component Definition DFES ESL 1 Target DFES ESL 2 Target (90th Percentile) (90th Percentile) Call Handling Time between Telstra handing over a 2 minutes 2 minutes 000 call for assistance to the DFES Communication Centre and the Communication Centre requesting a brigade to mobilise Mobilisation (also Time between the request to mobilise 3 minutes 5 minutes referred to as Turnout) and the crew advising they are on their way to the incident Travel Time between crew advising they are 7 minutes 7 minutes on their way to the incident and confirmation they have arrived at the incident Total Response Time An aggregation of the time taken for 12 minutes 14 minutes the three components above

Kelly asked for more detail about what resources the Department of Fisheries allocates to assess the impact of climate change on Western Australian fisheries. Answer: Understanding environmental effects on fisheries is a key part of fisheries’ stock assessments. This work has been extended to assess how climate change affects fisheries. When major changes occur to fisheries as a result of environmental changes, the Department of Fisheries (Department) reallocates resources to deal with priority high risk issues. It also seeks external funding for special projects from the Fisheries Research and Development Corporation (FRDC) to provide additional resources. In 2015 the Department reported on an FRDC project (grant of $450,000) in collaboration with CSIRO and University of Western Australia oceanographers: Caputi, N., Feng, M., Pearce, A., Benthuysen, J., Denham, A., Hetzel, Y., Matear, R., Jackson, G., Molony, B., Joll, L., and Chandrapavan, A. (2015). Management implications of climate change effect on fisheries in Western Australia: Part 1 Environmental change and risk assessment. FRDC Project 2010/535.

Fisheries Research Report 261, Department of Fisheries, Western Australia, 156pp E632 [ASSEMBLY Estimates Committee A — Supplementary Information 2016]
Two major case studies were examined in the report, the western rock lobster fishery and the effect of the marine heat wave of 2010/11. The western rock lobster fishery was assessed as part of a separate FRDC project and subsequent reviewed scientific papers were produced: Caputi, N., Feng, M., de Lestang, S., Denham, A., Penn, J., Slawinski, D., Pearce, A., Weller, E., How, J. (2014). Identifying factors affecting the low western rock lobster puerulus settlement in recent years.

Division 58: Corrective Services —
[Supplementary Information No A13.] Question: Mr P. Papalia asked what resources, including personnel and funding, are allocated within the Department of Corrective Services to provide and investigate issues that drive the increase in the prison population. Answer: The Business Intelligence and Reporting Branch (BIR) within the Knowledge, Information and Technology Directorate is responsible for data analysis issues. This includes data analysis in relation to prison populations. As at 30 April 2016 the BIR was allocated the following positions: • Level 8 – 1 FTE • Level 7 – 2 FTE • Level 6 – 5 FTE • Level 5 – 6 FTE • Level 4 – 1 FTE The Department of Corrective Services has not allocated any funding for consultants to conduct data analysis of population projections.
[Supplementary Information No A14.] Question: Ms M.M. Quirk asked for a breakdown of the specific number of individual assaults, both prisoner on prisoner and prisoner on prison officer, including sexual assaults; a breakdown by individual prisons within the estate; and the breakdown of how many prison officers have reported being assaulted. Answer: There were 291 serious assault and assault incidents in the Western Australian Prison system between 1 July 2015 and 22 May 2016. A breakdown of assaults by facility, assault type and victim group is provided in Table 1. The Department of Corrective Services’ (the Department’s) Policy Directive 41 (amended by Assistant Commissioner Custodial Operations Notice 32/2014) requires that all assaults on prisoners and staff be reported to the Western Australia Police.

* Quality assurance of assault incident data for the 1 January to 22 May 2016 period has not been finalised, and information provided may be subject to change. [Supplementary Information No A15.] Question: Ms M.M. Quirk asked why the definition of “serious assault” has changed and what impact that has had on actual numbers; and Mr P. Papalia asked whether assaults data includes assaults that occurred during short incarceration periods. Answer: The definition of ‘serious assault’ used by the Department of Corrective Services’ (the Department) was changed in April 2016 to align with the definition used by the Productivity Commission, as reported in the Report on Government Services. The changes to the definition are as follows: Amendment from ‘the number of physical assaults committed by prisoners…counted using the number of victims’ to ‘the number of victims of acts of physical violence…that resulted in physical injuries’; and Amendment from ‘overnight hospital care and/or continued medical treatment’ to ‘treatment involving overnight hospitalisation in a medical facility or on-going medical treatment.’ It is highly unlikely these minor changes to the definition have had any material effect on the numbers of assaults and serious assaults reported by the Department annually. All assault incidents are recorded by the Department, regardless of the length of stay of the prisoner. E634 [ASSEMBLY Estimates Committee A — Supplementary Information 2016]
[Supplementary Information No A16.] Question: Mr P. Papalia asked the minister to provide examples or a list of known circumstances in which invoice splitting occurred, as identified in the Auditor General’s report. Answer: Name: Description: Amount: Horizon Power Electricity charges 77,848.16 Goulburn Ovens TAFE Staff training for five officers 10,000.00 C&C Machinery Tractor Repairs 14,834.90 Halifax Crane Hire Staff training 10,000.00 Canning Vale Cash & Carry Prison provisions 14,710.50 Arthur Lodge And Co Prison provisions 6,600.00 Canning Vale Cash & Carry Prison provisions 8,826.30 Please note the following: • All identified payments were performed on credit cards and all transactions were authorised by an appropriate delegate. • The identified transactions all occurred in 2014-15. • The Office of the Auditor General highlighted that they did not believe fraud was involved. • The payments for Horizon Power and C&C Machinery were split due to the inability of the supplier to receipt card payments greater than $20,000 and $10,000 respectively. • The two payments to Goulburn TAFE and Halifax Crane Hire for staff training were split due to staff having a $5,000 transaction limit on their cards for security purposes. • Although the report referenced nine instances of invoice splitting totalling $174,275, we have confirmed that two instances were not split payments. One instance for the purchase of cattle, was incorrectly identified as invoice splitting and has since been removed as the payments related to two separate invoices of equal value. Another instance for two separate orders of shoes incorrectly identified as splitting has also been removed. [Supplementary Information No A17.] Question: Mr P. Papalia asked whether it is true that PHC referenced Department of Corrective Services common-user agreement 1/2016 on invoices for 15 February 2016 and 22 February 2016, what that common-user agreement is for, and what the number refers to? Answer: Common User Agreement (CUA) ‘ICTS2015’ became effective as at 1 February 2016. It is for Information and Communication Technology Services across the Western Australian Government.

Answer: As the question falls within the responsibility of the Department of Health, the question should be directed to the Health Minister for a response. [Supplementary Information No A29.] Question: Mr C.J. Tallentire asked: Was the water-testing regime at Elizabeth Quay approved by the Swan River Trust and referred to the Swan River Trust by an expert body that has specialist knowledge of the Swan River? Answer: In January 2012, following a review of various management plans for Elizabeth Quay, the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) advised it considered that previously identified key environmental issues for the project had been adequately addressed and that no formal assessment of the Elizabeth Quay development application by the EPA was required. The EPA identified the Swan River Trust (SRT) as the organisation best placed to coordinate the ongoing management and monitoring of potential environmental impacts for the project. An Estuary Waterways Management Plan for Elizabeth Quay was prepared in consultation with the SRT as part of the development application and the final document, including the testing regime, was approved by the SRT in June 2014. A 12 month post-construction water quality monitoring program is being implemented at Elizabeth Quay, in accordance with the approved Estuary Waterways Management Plan. [Supplementary Information No A30.] Question: Ms S.F. McGurk asked the parliamentary secretary to release any non–commercial-in-confidence information about food and beverage outlets at Elizabeth Quay and the terms negotiated related to any rent-free periods or subsidies. Answer: The Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority (MRA) conducted an extensive leasing campaign to attract high quality tenancies that reflect the Elizabeth Quay vision. The food and beverage outlets consist of leading Western Australian operators including V Burger and The Reveley, as well as the Isle of Voyage and Gusto Gelato which are both due to open shortly. The tenancy mix offers a family friendly experience for visitors to Elizabeth Quay. [ASSEMBLY Estimates Committee A — Supplementary Information 2016] E639
The commercial arrangements include: • a rent free period to support a start-up operation in a new precinct. • a capital contribution from the MRA to support the significant investment by the tenants in their fit-out of the food and beverage outlets to reflect their high quality operations. • the rental arrangements have been structured to include base and percentage rent. The MRA negotiated the commercial terms with the assistance of a professional leasing firm. These arrangements provide significant benefits to new businesses while ensuring that, as the precinct develops and the businesses mature, the percentage rent component will provide a strong revenue return to the State Government & return on the MRA’s capital contribution.

Answer: (1) A breakdown of the payments of $119.149m from the MRIT for the 2015-16 Estimated Actual is: (a) Land Acquisition - $88.803m The 2015/16 WAPC acquisition program expenditure is made up of: • Land acquisitions - $87.369m • Small capital - $1.434m Key land acquisitions include: • Purchase of a further 5.5ha at Alkimos ($15.0 mil) and 5.5ha in Eglinton ($5 million) for the northern suburbs railway. • Purchased 5.5ha of land in Alkimos for the Mitchell Freeway extension ($10 million) • Purchased land for Bush Forever, including 100 ha of land in Alkimos ($26 million), 350 ha of land in Neerabup ($13 million) 10ha in Southern River ($2.4 million) and 48ha of land in Harrisdale ($19.75 million). The quoted figures for land acquisition reflect current estimates, which vary slightly from those used when preparing the budget estimate papers. (b) Recurrent Expenditure - $30.346m The main recurrent expenditure item is for the payment of the Service Delivery Agreement with the Department of Planning.

Division 32: Treasury —
[Supplementary Information No A34.] Question: Mr B.S. Wyatt asked: How much of the WATC debt in the March quarter has been purchased on the open market versus purchased directly from the WATC? Answer: As at 31 March 2016, the Future Fund had purchased Western Australian Treasury Corporation (WATC) bonds in 17 transactions (proceeds of $205.8 million) – as follows: • 11 transactions (proceeds of $92.2 million) were acquired through the open market (via the multi bank electronic trading platform Yieldbroker); and • six transactions (proceeds of $113.6 million) were acquired directly from WATC. For each of the 17 transactions, competitive pricing was sought from WATC and the open market (through Yieldbroker), with the purchasing decision determined by the source (open market or WATC) that offered the highest yield.
[Supplementary Information No A35.] Question: Mr B.S. Wyatt asked for the full cost of public transport on the ticket price to Perth Stadium? Answer: The full cost recovery price per attendee in 2018 is estimated at $7.38 (excluding GST), compared to $3.69 at the 50% cost recovery rate (or $4.06 including GST). These amounts would be subject to change depending on the number of events and services provided. To put this in context, for a capacity crowd at Domain Stadium, 40,000 tickets currently subsidise around 12,000 people using public transport (30%). For the new Stadium, 60,000 tickets will subsidise around 48,000 people using public transport (80%). This means 50% more ticket sales to recover increased public transport usage of 300%. Hence, in order to reduce the impact on ticket prices, the Government has determined that only 50% of the much greater operational cost will be recovered through ticketing charges.
[Supplementary Information No A36.] Question: Mr W.J. Johnston asked the Treasurer for a calculated figure of the subsidy per passenger kilometre on the bus and rail systems. Answer: The following table provides the public transport subsidy per passenger kilometre – broken down by service type.

At Grade parking at QEIIMC operates in accordance with the At Grade Car Park Management Agreement between Project Co (Capella) and the QEIIMC Trust. In this agreement the At Grade car parking fees are collected by Wilson Parking and paid into a separate QEIIMC Trust bank account, then immediately processed and passed through to Capella. There is no trust account involved in this process. The revenue forms part of the budget of the QEIIMC Trust and the payment of this revenue to Capella constitutes an expense by the QEIIMC Trust. These revenues and expenditures in the accounts of the QEIIMC Trust are fully offset one against the other. At Grade parking fees collected and passed through to Capella by the QEIIMC Trust for the 2014/15 financial year were $2,023,179. At Grade parking fees collected and passed through to Capella by the QEIIMC Trust for the 2015/16 financial year to date (as at 30 April 2016) is $1,720,875.

[Supplementary Information No A63.] Question: Dr A.D. Buti asked for the number of children who have separated from an adult inpatient mental health facility or ward from 2015–16 to date. Answer: Answer: For 2015–16 (up to 29 February 2016), the number of children (under 18) separated from an adult inpatient mental health facility or ward was 159. [Supplementary Information No A64.] Question: Mr R.H. Cook requested the status of the business case, the current view of the preferred model of service for an in-bed inpatient facility and the anticipated time line for the introduction of that service, at any hospital. Answer: In 2014 North Metropolitan Health Service (NMHS) provided the Mental Health Commission (MHC) with a submission regarding a full suite of future services for eating disorders in Western Australia. This included inpatient services, community treatment and consultation and liaison services, including a minimum of four beds for statewide requirements and two beds for Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital catchment area. The MHC identified opportunities to pursue a staged approach to the development of the various components of the NMHS submission, including funding the first stages through existing resources. In consultation with NMHS it was agreed that the first priority was the creation of a statewide Western Australian Eating Disorders Outreach and Consultation Service (WAEDOCS). WAEDOCS aligns with action 55 (a) identified in the Western Australian Mental Health, Alcohol and Other Drug Services Plan: 20152025: Better Choices. Better Lives. (Plan), to establish and enhance community-based statewide eating disorder services. The MHC requested NMHS to prepare a business case to establish WAEDOCS. This was provided in June 2015, following which $550,000 was allocated from the MHC and $250,000 from the NMHS Mental Health non-admitted allocation to establish WAEDOCS. WAEDOCS commenced in April 2016 and provides consultation and education services to clinicians caring for people with eating disorders in all settings throughout Western Australia, including Emergency Departments, medical wards, mental health units, Hospital in the Home (HiTH) teams, General Practitioners and community health and mental health care services from public, private and community managed organisations. WAEDOCS aims to enhance the knowledge and skills of current community and hospital health professionals to deliver best-practice treatment and support to people with eating disorders through consulting, mentoring, support, training and education. Inpatient services remain an important part of an improved comprehensive approach to eating disorders, and youth and adult eating disorders are identified within the Plan as a priority area. Specific actions within in the Plan to address current service gaps are: • 54 (a) establish specialised statewide inpatient services for eating disorders (24 beds) - by the end of 2017; • 120 (a) continue to develop specialised statewide inpatient services for eating disorders (10 additional beds) - by the end of 2020; and • 156 (a) continue to develop specialised statewide inpatient services for eating disorders (13 additional beds) - by the end of 2025. As with the Plan generally, implementation of these actions is subject to Government approval though normal budgetary processes, and the State’s fiscal capacity. Given competing priorities no business cases for eating disorder adult inpatient services were submitted to Government as part of the 2015/16 or 2016/17 Budgets. Opportunities will be explored to progress other components via service reconfiguration, remodelling and possible future funding requests, which includes the planning for the establishment of dedicated inpatient eating disorder beds. The MHC and NMHS continue to work with services to develop the system capacity to respond earlier to individuals with eating disorders and their families. An example of this is the establishment of the Eating Disorders Mental Health Sub-network Steering Group. This commenced in February 2016 and is developing models of care and clinical guidelines which will assist clinicians to manage eating disorder presentations in General Hospital settings and reduce the need for mental health admissions through earlier, evidence based interventions.

Answer: For the 2015–16 year to date period (as at 26 May 2016), there have been 119 occasions when a metropolitan public hospital needed to lock the doors of an open ward due to the overflow of involuntary mental health patients from a secure ward. The WA Country Health Service does not maintain a record of these occasions in regard to hospitals in regional WA.
Division 75: Child Protection and Family Support —
[Supplementary Information No A67.] Question: Dr A.D. Buti requested the information from Treasury that explains the difference between forecast demand and the actual demand for the total cost of services. Answer: The demand model predicted a growth in the number of children in care during 2014-15 of 6.1 per cent and the actual growth was 6.3 per cent.
[Supplementary Information No A68.] Question: Mr D.J. Kelly requested the number of HUGS applications and the number granted, by postcode and suburb. Answer: Please refer to the following tables: • Table 1 – the number of HUGS applications received in 2015/16, up to April 2016, breakdown by utility provider; • Table 2 – the number of approved HUGS grants in 2015-16, up to April 2016, breakdown by utility provider; and • Table 3 - the number of approved HUGS grants in 2015-16, up to April 2016, breakdown by postcode. The breakdown of HUGS data by suburb requires manual collation of the HUGS data, which would require extensive time and manpower to complete. As many of the suburbs only receive a single HUGS application, caution also needs to be taken to ensure the clients confidentiality is retained prior to disclosing information which may inadvertently lead to identification of the applicant.

[Supplementary Information No A71.] Question: Mr R.H. Cook requested the total number of issued working with children cards in Western Australia. Answer: There are 329 094 people with current WWC Cards. There are 710 people with current Negative Notices.
[Supplementary Information No A72.] Question: Mr D.J. Kelly asked the minister for an estimated proportion of homelessness as a result of domestic violence. Answer: Homelessness data in Western Australia is collected through the Specialist Homelessness Services Data Collection. This captures the number of people that access homelessness services and their reasons for homelessness. This data collection is maintained by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW). In 2014-15, the AIHW reported that 23,021 people accessed Western Australian Specialist Homelessness Services. Of these, 42 per cent received assistance as a result of domestic and family violence, either as a reason they sought assistance from a specialist homelessness service or they required domestic and family violence assistance during their support period.
[Supplementary Information No A73.] Question: Mr R.H. Cook on behalf of Dr A.D. Buti asked, in relation to the Armadale Family Support Network: How many staff were attached to the program in 2015–16 and are expected in 2016–17? How many families were assisted in 2015–16 and are expected to be assisted in 2016–17? What was the total funding associated with 2015–16 and is expected to be provided in 2016–17? What has been achieved by the program to date? Answer: During 2015-16 year to date up to 30 May 2016 the Armadale Family Support Network: • has had 4.0 FTE • has assisted 2,311 clients, and • had allocated $496,595 in annual recurrent funding. In addition to this, $1 million per annum was allocated for capacity building activities to support clients of the network. In 2016-17 the Armadale Family Support Network is expected to operate in a similar manner to the previous year. The Armadale Family Support Network was established in partnership with the Department for Child Protection and Family Support and the community services sector to provide a common entry point to services for vulnerable children and families to prevent the need for a statutory response. Since commencement in April 2012 the Armadale Family Support Network has established partnerships with more than 16 community sector organisations that provide 45 support services to the Armadale area. They have provided support to 4,947 clients including 2,542 children during this time.

[Supplementary Information No A75.] Question: Dr G.G. Jacobs requested the amount GIFSA is block funded and the amount that goes to individuals. Answer: The Director General’s cited $5.490 million in funding for the Goldfields Individual and Family Support Association Inc. represents the year-to-date funding as at 2 May 2016. As at 27 May 2016, the Goldfields Individual and Family Support Association Inc. had received $5,586,650 from the Disability Services Commission for the 2015-16 financial year. This funding comprises $626,651 in block funding and $4,959,999 in individualised funding. This amount may increase by the end of the financial year.

Division 47: Parks and Wildlife —
[Supplementary Information No A76.] Question: Mr W.J. Johnston requested the annual total, the annual achieved and the underachievement for the last six years of the controlled burn program. Answer:

[Supplementary Information No A77.] Question: Mr C.J. Tallentire referred to service item 2, “Conserving Habitats, Species and Ecological Communities” on page 537 of the Budget Statements and noted a reduction of 48 staff between 2014–15 and 2016–17. The minister was asked to provide a list of roles for each of the 48 positions. Answer: Page 537 shows FTE for Conserving Habitats, Species and Ecological Communities. The 2014-15 Actual FTE is shown as 476, with 2015-16 Budget and 2015-16 Estimated Actual both shown as 430 and 2016-17 Budget Target shown as 428. Most employees of the Department of Parks and Wildlife work on more than one service during the course of each financial year. The time they record against each service is aggregated and reported as the FTE for the service. At service level there is no correspondence between an FTE and a position. Accordingly, it is not possible to identify 428 positions that comprise the 428 FTE for 2016-17, nor is it possible to provide a list of 48 positions that comprise the difference of 48 FTE between 2014-15 Actual and 2015-16 budget. For the department as a whole in aggregate there is a correspondence between positions and FTE. The 2014-15 Actual FTE was 1,533 and the 2016-17 Budget Target is 1,450. The most significant factor resulting in the decline in FTE was the abolition of 50 positions of employees who accepted a severance under Targeted Voluntary Separation Scheme. These positions are listed below. • Administration Officer • Architectural Draftsperson • Astronomical Officer • Botanist • Cartographic Officer • Clerical Officer (2) • Coordinator Community Involvement • Coordinator Cultural and Community Programs • Executive Assistant • Executive Officer • Finance and Administration Officer • Housing Co-ordinator • Information Services Officer • Land Administration Officer • Land Management Officer • Lease Compliance Officer E674 [ASSEMBLY Estimates Committee A — Supplementary Information 2016]

[Supplementary Information No A78.] Question: Mr W.J. Johnston asked: How many pieces of correspondence, reports or minutes has the minister received from the community reference group on wetland buffer guidelines? Answer: There was no correspondence, nor any reports or minutes, received by the Minister for Environment from the Stakeholder Reference Group Stakeholder Reference Group for the Strategic Assessment of the Perth and Peel Regions.
[Supplementary Information No A79.] Question: Mr W.J. Johnston asked whether it is possible for the biodiversity audit, as a database, to be output as an ASCII file. Answer: No. An ASCII text file format is not suitable for a dataset such as the biodiversity audit, which is highly structured and contains many different kinds of information. Management and interpretation of such complex and varied datasets requires the development of fit for purpose systems to ensure the best value is generated from that information.
[Supplementary Information No A80.] Question: Mr C.J. Tallentire sought information about funding for each of the natural diversity recovery catchments for the financial year ahead. Answer: Target budget allocations for salinity funding for 2016-17 for natural diversity recovery catchments are: Lake Bryde: $380,000 Toolibin Lake: $430,000 Lake Drummond: $30,000 Activities that benefit the natural diversity recovery catchments at Lake Warden, Buntine-Marchagee and Muir-Unicup are undertaken through delivery of elements of relevant reserve and area management plans, including the Forest Management Plan 2014-23, and the department’s wetland conservation science program.

Division 48: Environment Regulation —
[Supplementary Information No A81.] Question: Mr D.A. Templeman asked whether current regulations permit medical waste to be transported interstate; and, if so, when that provision was introduced. Answer: The National Environment Protection (Movement of Controlled Waste between States and Territories) Measure (NEPM) was made on 26 June 1998 under subsection 14(1) of the National Environment Protection Council Act 1994 (Commonwealth). The Measure provides a basis for ensuring that controlled wastes which are to be moved between States and Territories are properly identified and transported. Schedule A List 1 of the NEPM includes 75 waste categories including: • clinical and related wastes; • wastes from the production and preparation of pharmaceutical products; and • waste pharmaceuticals, drugs and medicines. The transportation of these wastes between States and Territories is reported annually in the National Environment Protection Council’s annual report.
[Supplementary Information No A82.] Question: Mr D.A. Templeman asked how many illegal dumping prosecutions were pursued, and the outcomes, in 2012–13, 2013–14 and 2014–15. Answer: The following statistics are based on the date of conviction. Period Prosecutions Convictions 2012/13 8 8 2013/14 2 2 2014/15 4 4 2015/16 11 11 Total 25 25
[Supplementary Information No A83.] Question: Mr C.J. Tallentire asked: How many hectares of native vegetation destruction have been approved to date in 2015–16? Answer: Between 1 July 2015 to 26 May 2015, a total of 376 clearing permits were granted under the Environmental Protection Act 1986 by the Department of Environment Regulation (DER) and the Department of Mines and Petroleum (DMP), authorising clearing of 13 836 hectares of native vegetation and 1 863 trees. DER granted 259 clearing permits authorising clearing of 2 417 hectares of native vegetation and 1 444 native trees and DMP granted 117 clearing permits authorising clearing of 11 419 hectares of native vegetation and 419 native trees.
[Supplementary Information No A84.] Question: Mr W.J. Johnston asked whether data related to approvals for native vegetation clearance is included in the government’s open data policy. Answer: The Western Australian Whole of Government Open Data Policy considers data to be open when it is released and available for the general public; easily discoverable; in formats that are modifiable, non-proprietary and machine-readable; licensed to enable reuse and redistribution; and available at no cost to users. The Department of Environment Regulation’s Clearing Permit System, which manages data for the regulation of clearing under the Environmental Protection Act 1986, is a publicly available database which has been designed to meet Government, community and industry expectations for transparency and accountability. The database includes information on applications and outcomes: the applicant, the proposed clearing (including spatial location, area), the decision and assessment report, any applicable offset (linked to the Environmental Offsets Register), and relevant appeals. The system provides a flexible search function, and the ability to export data for further analysis (using Excel for example). There is no cost for users in accessing or downloading the data. The Clearing Permit System meets or exceeds the criteria as outlined above under the Government’s Open Data policy. E676 [ASSEMBLY Estimates Committee A — Supplementary Information 2016]
Division 49: Botanic Gardens and Parks Authority —
[Supplementary Information No A85.] Question: Mr C.J. Tallentire asked: Does the authority receive funding from the Australian Seed Bank Partnership; and, if so, how much? Answer: The Botanic Gardens and Parks Authority has received $64,205 (excl. GST) through the Council of Heads of Botanic Gardens, under funding agreements administered by the Australian Seed Bank Partnership for the 2015-16 financial year to date. The funds are allocated in response to grant applications annually for seed collection and seed banking activities. No funds have been applied for, or allocated as yet, for the 2016-17 financial year.
Division 50: Office of the Environmental Protection Authority —
[Supplementary Information No A86.] Question: Mr C.J. Tallentire asked for the number of referrals that, in the minds of the community, were referrals but that the EPA declined to accept as referrals. Answer: Section 38 of the Environmental Protection Act 1986 provides for the referral of significant proposals, that is, proposals likely to have a significant effect on the environment, to the Environmental Protection Authority. All referrals of significant proposals were acknowledged as referrals. Proposals which are brought to the Environmental Protection Authority's attention which are clearly not significant, do not constitute referrals under section 38 of the Environmental Protection Act 1986. For the 2015-16 financial year to date, the Environmental Protection Authority received six requests from members of the community seeking proposals to be considered under section 38 of the Environmental Protection Act 1986 which, after investigation, the Environmental Protection Authority determined did not meet the requirements of a significant proposal.
Water Corporation —
[Supplementary Information No A87.] Question: Mr W.J. Johnston asked: When did the Water Corp first realise that the material at Minnivale may contain asbestos? From that date, when was WorkSafe advised? Answer: On 11 September 2014, an environmental consultant visited the Minnivale Reservoir site as part of an inspection program and took samples of the fascia panels and mastic. Samples confirmed the presence of asbestos and the Water Corporation’s Asbestos Asset Register was updated on 10 October 2014 to include Minnivale Reservoir. Worksafe was advised on 16 October 2015.
[Supplementary Information No A88.] Question: Mr W.J. Johnston asked: When was the first occasion that the minister’s office was advised of the issue at Minnivale? Answer: On 12 October 2015 the Minister and staff were verbally informed that there may have been an asbestos related issue at Minnivale reservoir. This was confirmed in writing on 15 October 2015.
Division 60: Water —
[Supplementary Information No A89.] Question: Ms S.F. McGurk asked where the groundwater monitoring sites are located, and where additional ones have been provided, over the past three years. Answer: The Department of Water actively monitors a network of 3,222 water measurement sites with the majority of these sites monitoring groundwater resources. Groundwater monitoring sites being measured in any given year varies slightly from year to year. The past three years have seen a slight increase in the number of groundwater monitoring sites measured as follows: 2013/2014 = 2,294 2014/2015 = 2,358 2015/2016 = 2,446 The below maps shows the locations groundwater monitoring bores measured for the above financial years.

[Supplementary Information No A90.] Question: Mr D.J. Kelly asked what work was being done by contract staff in the corporate services area. Answer: The type of work that was being undertaken by external contractors who are no longer being used includes: • System administration of the TechOne financial system used by the Department of Water; • Procurement of replacement ICT equipment; • Management of legacy IT systems pending the roll out of all Water Online functionality; and • Reconciliation of assets.
[Supplementary Information No A91.] Question: Mr D.J. Kelly asked what contracts the department had previously that it will no longer utilise. Answer: Up to two temporary agency contract staff funded through consolidated funds have been used at stages to assist departmental staff who have been developing capabilities to undertake priority water supply planning and provide advice on water sensitive urban design. The agency expenditure review savings measure reduces the amount of non-salary consolidated funds available to support these functions by $150,000 per annum which will now be undertaken by departmental staff, supported if necessary by contractors/consultants paid through project-specific funds.
[Supplementary Information No A92.] Question: Mr C.J. Tallentire asked: How much scheme water is being released into the Canning River, and what is its value? Could the minister also detail the different points at which it is released into the Canning River? Answer: Scheme water is released into the Canning River during the summer months to support environmental, cultural and social values of this urban river, and some licensed water use. Water is released from six main release points (see the attached map) located at: • Araluen • Stocker Road (Hill 60) • Bernard Street • Orlando Street • Manning Avenue • Gosnells Bridge Releases to the river are a longstanding practice recognising the effect of the Canning River Dam on flows in the river below the dam. An average of 1.5 gigalitres per year (1.5 billion litres per year) of scheme water is released to the Canning River. The releases are made by the Water Corporation as a requirement of its licence to operate Canning Dam. The long run marginal cost to produce the water that is released is $1.85/kilolitre.

Division 61: Sport and Recreation —
[Supplementary Information No A93.] Question: Mr P.B. Watson referred to “SilverSport” and asked what selection criteria was used to choose the communities, and why Albany was not included. Answer: SilverSport Selection Criteria The SilverSport trial Local Government locations have been chosen based on a range of selection criteria including: • Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA) ranked whereby is the most disadvantaged. • Significant seniors population. • Significant number of Health Care Card and Pensioner Concession Card holders. • Percentage of overweight and obese adults per local government. • Local Government Club Development Officer to support implementation. • The presence of local sport or recreation clubs, facilities and Seniors Recreation Council branches to support participation. • Statistically relevant population of eligible seniors for the pilot program. Although there are local government areas with a higher number of eligible seniors, the current resource allocation for the pilot would be insufficient to adequately manage demand.

Tallentire asked: What is the department’s estimate of the impact of climate change on our agricultural sector, segmented through grains, livestock and horticulture? Answer: The following provides a summary of the impact of climate change on segments of the agricultural sector: • Grains industries –The WA wheatbelt has had a 20% decline in rainfall, mostly since the mid-1970s. • Livestock industries – modelling indicates that in the higher rainfall areas of the South-west, increased temperature in winter and early spring and reduced waterlogging could benefit livestock production by; increasing forage production; reducing livestock feed requirements from lower energy maintenance costs; increasing survival of young animals or shorn sheep during cold and wet periods. • Horticultural industries - The South-west region will remain ideally suited for producing high quality grapes and wine. • In northern regions, modelling indicates that banana production at Carnarvon is likely to be relatively unaffected by increased temperature at least until 2030, but production may be negatively affected at Kununurra.

[Supplementary Information No B48.] Question: Mr P.C. Tinley asked: How much was spent on a centre pivot for Warrawagine station? Answer: Under the Pilbara Hinterland Agricultural Development Initiative (PHADI), the Woodie Woodie Pilot project will demonstrate agricultural-based water management activities that utilise surplus mine dewater through the establishment of a 38 hectare irrigation site on Warrawagine Station. The project consists of the following expenditure items as agreed in a memorandum of understanding executed by the Department of Regional Development and the Department of Agriculture and Food:
Item of Expenditure Budget ($)
Project planning and administration 149 200
38 hectare Pilot Site 1 435 814
Site operation, maintenance, monitoring, data management and reporting 2 595 984
Total 4 180 998
As at 31 March 2016, $1 092 489 has been expended on infrastructure and related items, which includes expenditure on mainline pipe infrastructure, pumping system costs, mobilisation fee, communications and control system, fertilizer facility and power supply, and a two-year chattel mortgage arrangement by Warrawagine Cattle Company for the centre-pivot required for the pilot. As the pilot project is concluding in September 2016, most of the budget as it relates to the Woodie Woodie pilot project has been expended except for approximately $560 000 as at 31 March 2016. Commercial negotiations are being pursued for private investment in infrastructure and water supply options for an agriculture precinct, which is the ultimate objective of PHADI overall.

[Supplementary Information No B52.] Question: Dr A.D. Buti asked for details of the John Forrest Secondary College asbestos assessment and, if the assessment is that work needs to be done at the school, when that work will take place. Answer: Based on the risk rankings listed in the Asbestos Containing Materials – Register for John Forrest Senior High School it is considered that the risk ranking to staff and students is low. Accordingly, no immediate work needs to be undertaken at present. The Department of Education’s Asbestos Management Plan 2015 states that while asbestos containing materials are abundant in many schools and workplaces, their presence does not in itself constitute a risk as there must be some form of physical abrasion or chemical degradation of the materials in order to release asbestos fibres into the atmosphere. Studies show that, if ACM are in sound condition and left undisturbed, asbestos fibres are not released and do not pose health risks. John Forrest Senior High School (John Forrest Senior High School - 180 Drake Street , MORLEY) This site was inspected and an assessment was made of the Asbestos Containing Materials (ACM’s), used during construction. This has been a visual inspection carried out by Dept. of Finance on behalf of the above client. The following report is laid out showing the Site, Block and Strata Levels. The site is indicated at the top of the page e.g.: “Albany Senior High School” followed by the Inspection Date, Inspectors Name, and Building No./Name, Strata Level, Quantity (of material found) and Risk Ranking. The risk ranking is derived from a 1 to 9 matrix of Probability of Disturbance and Existing Condition, where the lower the number the higher risk to be managed. SPECIAL NOTICE: GENERAL SITE RELATED ACM INFORMATION In addition to components and materials listed in the ACM Register, the following items may also contain Asbestos and must therefore be treated as ACMs:

[Supplementary Information No B55.] Question: Mr D.A. Templeman asked: Does the department have a list of target schools at which increasing students’ university aspirations will be a focus? Answer: ICSEA is a nationally consistent scale of socio-educational advantage calculated by the Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) to enable fair, objective and meaningful comparisons of the schools’ outcomes given the socio-educational circumstances of their students. As it uses data specifically about each school’s students and circumstances, ICSEA is a better measure of the socio-education circumstances of schools than area-based socio-economic measures such as the Australian Bureau of Statistics Socio-Economic Indexes for Areas (SEIFA). The table shows the current Western Australian public schools whose Index of Community Socio-Educational Advantage (ICSEA) scores in 2014 were in the three most disadvantaged deciles. The Department of Education does not have the equivalent data for Western Australian non-government schools. ICSEA deciles for 2014 are the most recent available data for Western Australian public schools (except community kindergartens and schools that opened after 2014).

[Supplementary Information No B58.] Question: Ms J.M. Freeman asked when the masses of vacant land that the Housing Authority has sitting in Mirrabooka are going to be developed. Answer: • In order for Housing to progress development on the Milldale Way sites, zoning and development provisions need to be aligned with the Mirrabooka Town Centre Structure Plan, which was adopted on 17 March 2015. To enable this, a scheme amendment has been initiated by the City of Stirling. • Development of Housing’s residential land holdings is contingent on the successful sale and development of Housing’s land within the town centre, planning approvals, extension of the road network, and evidence of market demand to underpin the commercial feasibility. • To facilitate development of the town centre, lots previously held by Housing which are not considered suitable for residential development, have been made available for sale or sold with development timeframe requirements as a condition of sale. • These lots will be used for commercial/office/retail outcomes consistent with the intent of the City of Stirling Structure Plan. The status of the lots on Milldale Way: • 5 Milldale Way is pending settlement with construction scheduled to commence in the second half of 2016, and occupation scheduled for the first half of 2018. • Lot 602 Milldale Way was sold, subject to conditions that includes commencing development within five years of settlement or a later date agreed by the parties in writing. • Lot 61 Milldale Way is under contract under a Call Option to Buy, which has been extended to December 2016 by Housing to allow the purchaser to pursue additional due diligence and investigations. • Lot 9501 Milldale Way will be residential development, however as there is no road infrastructure and limited amenities, Housing will not be pursuing residential development in the near future. In the interim, Housing will likely lease a portion of Lot 9501 to temporarily accommodate construction material and vehicle storage for the duration of the Milldale Way building programs. • 18 Chesterfield Road has portions of land awaiting titles following the recent extension of Milldale Way to improve connectivity within the Mirrabooka Town Centre consistent with the Mirrabooka Structure Plan. Following the issue of titles, the land will be progressed for sale or development.
[Supplementary Information No B59.] Question: Ms J.M. Freeman asked: Is the Housing Authority going to appeal to the minister the decision by the City of Stirling not to approve the rezoning of lot 162 Fernhurst Crescent from public use to R40 because it is part of a park in Balga, as the Department of Housing tried to take half the park to use it as R40 to sell off land? Answer: The Housing Authority has previously sought advice from the City of Stirling in regards to the Housing Authority’s land at Lot 162 Fernhurst Crescent, Balga, and has discussed possibilities for the land, including a land swap with other land owned by the City of Stirling; purchase of the land by the city; or development of the land as a residential development by the Housing Authority. The City of Stirling has previously indicated that it was not interested in either purchasing the land or entering into a land swap, and it has entertained the rezoning of the site for residential development. The decision of the City of Stirling to pursue acquisition of the land and refuse to support a rezoning was taken at a late stage while the rezoning proposal was before council for consideration, without consultation with the Housing Authority. The Housing Authority was unaware that the City of Stirling had changed its position in this manner. Discussions are continuing between the Housing Authority and the City of Stirling regarding the future use of the land and, while a final outcome has not yet been reached, the Housing Authority is prepared to consider a land swap or the acquisition of the land by the City.

Logan asked: In each of the 11 project locations mentioned in the first dot point on page 785, what has been built under the royalties for regions money for the key worker accommodation program, why has it been built and for whom? Answer: (1) Capital Formation Framework – Phase 2 Feasibility Study - $0.50 million As part of the Affordable Housing Strategy, this study explored the viability of establishing a vehicle to attract long term, institutional investment, at scale to help fund affordable housing outcomes across the State. Its outcomes have informed the current work of the Affordable Housing Working Group, established by under the auspice of the Council for Federal Financial Relations and led by the Commonwealth Treasury. This process provides a unique and important mechanism to work with the Commonwealth Government and State counterparts on a national approach.

(5) Hamilton Precinct Stage 1, South Hedland - $21.00 million The project aims to deliver 93 lots which will yield more than 100 dwellings. Lots are expected to be sold below South Hedland’s median sale price to increase affordable housing options for key workers. The Housing Authority obtained a five-year Development Lease over Lot 331 in September 2015. Through the 2016-17 Budget process the funding for this project was deferred until 2020-21. The project was subsequently put on hold after the 2016-17 budget process pending an upturn in demand. (6) Hedland 125 House Service Worker Intervention Package - $93.37 million The Hedland 125 project delivered 125 dwellings for key workers in Hedland which primarily consist of two and three bedrooms, with a small number of four bedroom units. Delivery and occupation of all 125 dwellings was completed by March 2014. The community housing organisation Foundation Housing Limited has been engaged under a head lease agreement to provide property and tenancy management for the 125 dwellings throughout the two year intervention period. As the two year intervention period has been completed, a strategy for the sale and/or repurposing of the dwellings is being progressed. (7) Newman Service Worker Housing Project - $6.60 million The delivery of 10 two-bedroom, two-bathroom dwellings is for service workers in Newman that had a demonstrated need of housing assistance and met the maximum income threshold of $100,000 per annum.

To date, 33 dwellings have been completed across Hedland, Newman, Roebourne, Tom Price, Wickham, Derby and Halls Creek. Construction has commenced for six dwellings in Kununurra and two dwellings in Broome. The Housing Authority has also purchased 13 vacant lots in the Pilbara and two in the Kimberley and planning is underway for dwellings in Halls Creek and Fitzroy Crossing. (9) Onslow Service Worker Housing Intervention - $4.83 million The Onslow Service Worker Housing Intervention Project delivered 12 chalets to immediately address the shortage in affordable rental opportunities in the region. Installation of all 12 units was completed in January 2014 and occupation of the chalets commenced in February 2014. (10) Pelago East Stage 2, Karratha - $30.41 million Housing purchased 50 units in Stage 2 of the Finbar Pelago East Development, comprising 29 one-bedroom and 21 two-bedroom units. Construction was completed ahead of schedule and settlement occurred on 30 November 2013. Of the 50 units, 26 units are in use by Government Regional Officers’ Housing and the remaining 24 apartments have been asset transferred to WA Country Health Services, to provide rental accommodation for key service worker government health professionals. This project delivers high quality housing for key workers in Karratha and contributes to a diversity of dwelling types in the revitalised town centre. (11) Osprey Key Worker Village - $20.50 million A 12 hectare parcel of land in the Osprey Subdivision, South Hedland has been developed to enable construction of a key worker lifestyle village (Osprey Village), providing permanent, attractive and quality affordable accommodation for key workers. Fleetwood was appointed to design, construct and manage the development of the 293 unit village. The accommodation is a combination of one, two and three bedroom dwellings. Amenities include a large public open space, individual courtyards, boat and caravan storage areas and CCTV security. Practical completion was achieved in February 2014.

[Supplementary Information No B62.] Question: Mr F.M. Logan asked: What are the management fees, the payment for items and other operating costs, including asset purchases, and interest for Osprey Village from 1 July 2015, including maintenance costs; and what has been the rental income for the same period to date? Answer: The period from 1 July 2015 to 1 May 2016 spans a change in the management arrangements and ownership of the Osprey Village. During this time, the Housing Authority has paid: • $2,928,439.28 in management and operating costs, including maintenance, rates and tax • $3,100,756.46 in vendor financing payments • $14,981.82 in asset purchases. From 1 July 2015 to 1 May 2016, the total revenue received from the Village was $3,742,982.91.
[Supplementary Information No B63.] Question: Mr F.M. Logan asked about breaches by the University of Western Australia of the NRAS guidelines, for whom those apartments were supposed to be built and who ended up living in them, and about the funding that the former minister stopped until such time as the outcome of that investigation was to have occurred. Answer: On 20 March 2014 (Hansard p1720a-1721a), the previous Minister for Housing, the Hon Bill Marmion MLA, expressed concern regarding interim information from the Commonwealth Department of Social Services (DSS) that indicated that a high percentage of dwellings were occupied by foreign students. The Minister stated: This outcome does not appear to be consistent with the intentions of the WA government, nor the conditions of the offer of the NRAS incentives made by the commonwealth government. We have written to the commonwealth requesting that the situation be reviewed as a matter of priority. DSS conducted a review and confirmed that UWA had met compliance requirements—including prioritisation of domestic students—and therefore were eligible to receive payment by both the Commonwealth and State Governments. As advised on 25 May 2016 during the Budget Estimates hearing, the State Government only pays its component of the incentive once it has received confirmation from the DSS that proponents have satisfied compliance requirements in accordance with the National Rental Affordability Scheme Act 2008 and Regulations.

[Supplementary Information No B67.] Question: Ms J.M. Freeman asked: Can the parliamentary secretary explain why the income is in continual decline? Answer: The Department of Commerce - Labour Relations Division (LRD), to which the table on page 513 refers, does not have any significant, directly attributable income. The income that it does have is sundry in nature, such as LRD’s staff contributions to government vehicle schemes. The figures for income in the LRD table on page 513 also include a proportional allocation of general miscellaneous revenues received by the Department that is not otherwise attributable to any specific division. In much the same way that indirect costs of providing each service, such as corporate costs and other corporate overheads etc., are notionally allocated proportionally across services, so too are non-service-specific revenues. Such revenues may include refunds for prior year insurances, or recoup of salary for Departmental corporate staff seconded to other Departments etc. As such, they may vary noticeably from year to year. The variation is most observable for services such as LRD which have no significant sources of its own specific income. The variation does not arise out of any specific decision of Government in relation to LRD.

[Supplementary Information No B73.] Question: Mr D.A. Templeman wanted to know how many retirement village owners or villages are currently under investigation by the department for alleged breaches of the act or other acts. Answer: The Department of Commerce - Consumer Protection Division has 12 current investigations against 11 different retirement village operators. These investigations cover a range of issues and are being examined under the Retirement Villages Act 1992, the Retirement Villages Regulations 1992, the Fair Trading (Retirement Villages Code) Regulations 2015, the Australian Consumer Law and the Associations Incorporation Act 1987.

[Supplementary Information No B74.] Question: Ms S.F. McGurk asked for supplementary information on whether any of the 16 agencies receiving funding gave advice to the bushfire victims in Yarloop or Esperance in any of those other situations. Answer: The Consumer Protection Division of the Department of Commerce (Consumer Protection) does not have this information readily available and so has approached the service providers directly. Consumer Protection has been advised that at least one person in the South West was provided with tenancy advice in relation to the Yarloop bushfire. The advice involved a private rental contract and was provided in the context that the town of Yarloop was effectively closed down. Tenancy WA established a separate dedicated helpline for tenants affected by the bushfires. Via this helpline, three people were assisted on seven separate occasions. The advice these people received primarily related to: • rent free periods (if any) / rent reduction; • urgent repairs; • restoration of services / utilities; • termination for frustration due to premises being destroyed or rendered uninhabitable; and • resulting bond disputes. Additionally, in partnership with Legal Aid, Tenancy WA updated and revised Legal Aid’s existing fact sheet on natural disasters and tenancy issues with information relevant to the situation.
[Supplementary Information No B75.] Question: Ms J.M. Freeman asked for an explanation of why there is a drop in the budget figure for the sale of goods and services from $6.2 million to $261 000. Answer: As noted under the table at the top of page 522: The moneys received and retained under the net appropriation provisions are applied to the Department’s services as specified in the Budget papers. As the member has noted, the 2014-15 budget had previously anticipated $6.2 million receipts under this line item. This particular line item includes the Department’s receipts from its drawdown on the Rental Accommodation Account (RAA) in reimbursement of the Department’s cost in meeting its obligations under the Residential Tenancies Act 1987 (the Act). The funds available in the RAA rely on income from interest earned by the fund. With historically low interest returns to the account in recent years, the Department is proactively monitoring and managing the future sustainability of the balance of the interest funds held in the account. Whilst the Department incurred the necessary costs in undertaking its functions under the Act during the course of 2014-15, with the approval of the Treasurer, the Department was able to forego seeking reimbursement for that year, and therefore bore the costs internally.

[Supplementary Information No B76.] Question: Mr D.A. Templeman asked: Can the minister provide a list of all current investigations being carried out by the department into alleged breaches of the Local Government Act or concerns or complaints against councils, council staff and elected members? Answer: The Department currently has sixty open complaints relating to local governments as set out in Attachment 1. These are complaints made against local governments, individual elected members or administrative officers. The Department also undertakes an annual risk assessment of individual local governments. The risk profile has been developed based on a review of audited financial reports, key financial ratios, compliance audit returns and complaints data. Trends are analysed to determine whether there is a pattern of risk or if there is a temporary situation. Local governments are categorised according to the assessed level of risk. The Department tailors its response with each local government according to the nature and level of risk. Thirteen local governments were assessed as being high risk, three were assessed as medium to high risk and a further thirty nine local governments were assessed as being low to medium risk. Details of those local governments are set out in Attachment 2.
[Supplementary Information No B77.] Question: Ms M.M. Quirk asked whether the claim that WA has the most generous concession scheme in Australia is based on the concessions and possible discounts or on concessions that stand alone, and for interstate comparisons of the value of the concessions people with a WA Seniors Card receive. Answer: The average estimated value of State Government concessions to a Western Australian Seniors Card holder in 2015/16 was $1,100 per annum. This is based on totalling the average value of the 14 State Government funded concessions available to Western Australian Seniors Card holders. Queensland provides 13 concessions to Queensland Seniors Card holders and has estimated the average annual value as $700. The other states and territories provide an even smaller range of less valuable concessions to their Seniors Card holders, which are focussed on transport and recreational activities. The value of the Western Australian Seniors Card will increase from 1 July 2016 when the new Photo Card concession is introduced, with seniors eligible to get a 50 per cent concession of up to $21.25. Those holding both a Western Australian Seniors Card and a Commonwealth Seniors Health Card will get a 100 per cent concession, i.e. a free Photo Card.

[Supplementary Information No B82.] Question: Ms S.F. McGurk asked: What is happening with the investigation into the case in which two children were taken from a holiday care centre in North Perth, when will it be completed, when will it be tabled in Parliament, and are there any regulations around access gates at after-hours or holiday care centres? Answer: The investigation is nearing completion. The service’s approval to operate was suspended on 21 April 2016. In addition to its investigation of regulatory compliance, my Department will also examine whether the circumstances give rise to the need to strengthen the approach to regulation of services of that kind more generally. I will report those findings to Parliament once the investigation and associated processes are concluded.
