In the 2009-10 financial year, $619million was allocated to projects in regional Western Australia through Royalties for Regions, and it has made an immediate difference for areas that do much to drive WA’s wealth but which have been ignored for far too long. To take just a few examples, the Royalties for Regions Pilbara Cities initiatives are transforming South Hedland, Port Hedland, Roebourne, Karratha, Newman, Tom Price and Onslow, providing much-needed services to the regional centres, and making them more attractive places to live and work. Health services in the area are being improved, facilities are being modernised, and genuine measures are being taken to reduce the high cost of accommodation. In excess of $1billion Royalties for Regions funding will underpin the next round of growth in the Pilbara region. In the Kimberley region in the Ord irrigation area, the first rice crop for 27 years has been harvested, which in itself is a remarkable achievement. However, this is just the start. With $220million committed to the Ord-East Kimberley Expansion Project, new land is being released and new channels and roads are being built to service an extra 8000 hectares of irrigated land. Not only is this an excellent development for the region and WA’s agricultural sector, but it stands as an example of what collaboration with local aboriginal people can achieve. The project will deliver economic benefits to the Miriuwung Gajerrong people and local traditional owners including job opportunities and a positive outcome for their future. The Regional Grants Scheme, funded through Royalties for Regions is another initiative that is being used to improve quality of life in the regions, with more than $27million allocated to 233 projects, ranging from sporting facility upgrades to health initiatives and cultural attractions. 2 The funding allows for projects that tell the unique Western Australian story, such as $453,000 for the Gascoyne Aboriginal Heritage and Cultural Centre, Gwoonwardu Mia, which will host a permanent exhibition tracing the five language groups of Aboriginal people in the Gascoyne, and $200,000 to support the City of Albany as it prepares for the ANZAC Centenary in 2014-15. One of the core principals underpinning Royalties for Regions is that more needs to be done to bridge the gap between life in the city and that in regional areas. Already, we have addressed the fundamental issue of the cost of transport for age and disability pensioners, understanding that high fuel costs can be crippling for those on modest, fixed incomes. The department has provided the Country Age Pension Fuel Card to more than 30,000 age pensioners in regional areas, giving them $500 a year towards the cost of fuel and taxi travel. Even small investments in communities can make a substantial difference. In Karratha, Royalties for Regions has funded an obstetrician, so women in the area can have their babies closer to home. In the Great Southern, funding will provide early intervention childhood programs that will help struggling children improve their literacy and numeracy skills. All nine regions are already benefiting from the $30million allocated to the Royal Flying Doctor Service, which has delivered three new aircraft including the first jet service and additional operational staff. The Country Local Government Fund provides an opportunity for local councils and shires in regional WA to access funding for projects they identify as areas of critical need and to help them build and maintain important infrastructure. As part of the Fund’s operations, we have taken significant steps to improve the process of investment in regional infrastructure, by helping individual local governments develop forward capital works plans, strategic plans and asset management plans, and enabling them to work collaboratively to identify regional priorities. This process will vastly improve the allocation of grant money and will ensure Royalties for Regions funds deliver substantial changes to Regional WA. Message from the Director General We are now at the end of our first full financial year since the Royalties for Regions program was established. It has been truly remarkable how far the program has come and how much has been achieved. The Department of Regional Development and Lands is proud to be the State’s delivery agent of such an historic program in Australia. Programs like Royalties for Regions require a significant amount of effort and commitment and I would like to personally acknowledge the department’s staff in putting in place the required processes, systems and frameworks. These support systems ensure programs can be successfully delivered and that governance and accountability procedures are followed. The establishment of the Western Australia Regional Development Trust has provided an independent advisory mechanism to the Minister which has added a further dimension to administering the program by providing input from another sector of the community. The Trust together with the Regional Development Council will continue to add to the accountability requirements of the Royalties for Regions program. The focus on the Royalties for Region’s program over the past 18months has seen the department set up accountability systems and processes that have delivered the State Government initial election commitments and priorities. Evaluation is an important aspect for monitoring initiatives under the Royalties for Regions program. Recently, a social impact evaluation was completed on the Country Age Pension Fuel Card, one of the many programs funded through the Royalties for Regions program. The evaluation looked at the benefits of the program against what had been achieved to ensure that the fuel card initiative was continuing to meet the original objectives that had been set. As a department we are constantly looking for ways to improve our services. Evaluations such as this can help us identify and achieve these goals. It is an exciting era in regional development, the Royalties for Regions program together with the department’s land reform agenda is a powerful combination for enhancing economic growth in Western Australia. Paul Rosair Director General Over the next year, the department will continue to focus on evaluating the Royalties for Regions program to ensure it is meeting its objectives including the application and assessment processes for new initiatives. This is just the beginning. Much more is needed to ensure regional WA is recognised as an attractive place to live, visit, work and invest. Brendon Grylls Minister of Regional Development; Lands 3 Introduction Royalties for Regions is an historic agreement launched in December 2008 that underlines the State Government’s long-term focus on regional development throughout Western Australia. Through Royalties for Regions, the equivalent of 25% of the State’s mining and onshore petroleum royalties are returned to the State’s regional areas each year as investment in projects, infrastructure and community services. In the 2009-10 financial year, $619million (equals approximately 3% of the State Government’s 2010-11 budget) was provided to regional communities through Royalties for Regions. Royalty for Regions focuses on delivering benefits to regional areas through six policy objectives: • building capacity in regional communities; • retaining benefits in regional communities; • improving services to regional communities; • attaining sustainability; • expanding opportunity; and • growing prosperity. Royalties for Regions Act 2009 On 3 December 2009, the State Government’s Royalties for Regions Bill was given Royal assent and commenced. The Royalties for Regions Act 2009 provides for the establishment of the Royalties for Regions Fund to promote and facilitate economic, business and social development in regional Western Australia. The Act also established the Western Australian Regional Development Trust. The Act provides a legislative base for the Royalties for Regions program’s continuing operation. Sections 3 and 4 and Parts 2 and 4 of the Act were proclaimed on 26 March 2010 and the Royalties for Regions Fund came into operation on 27 March 2010. At this time, Royalties for Regions monies held in the Treasurer’s Special Purpose Account were transferred to the Fund Special Purpose Account. There are three subsidiary accounts of the Fund: the Country Local Government Fund; the Regional Community Services Fund and the Regional Infrastructure and Headworks Fund. Section 5(d) allows for other subsidiary accounts to be created on the recommendation of the Minister. The Department’s role The Department of Regional Development and Lands Regional Investment Division; on behalf of the State Government is responsible for administering the Royalties for Regions initiative. In line with the Royalties for Region’s principles, the division works closely with other organisations implementing Royalties for Regions initiatives. They include the State’s nine regional development commissions, community, business and industry, community resource centres, non-government organisations and other State Government departments and local governments. These alliances help ensure there is a strong focus on supporting local decisionmaking for regional expenditure and increasing the capacity of local governments (for example, through the Country Local Government Fund) and the regional development commissions (through the Regional Grants Scheme). Part 3 Western Australian Regional Development Trust and Part 5 Consequential Amendment of the Act were proclaimed on 16 July 2010 and came into operation on 17 July 2010. This report provides details of funds disbursed in 2009-10. In some instances projects approved in 2009-10 have also been listed; however funds were not disbursed in 2009-10. 4 5 Royalties for Regions Principles The central principles underpinning Royalties for Regions are: • Strategic projects in regional Western Australia are a priority • Local decision-making in regional areas is fundamental • State Government department administration and processes should provide for and support decision making in regional areas An important feature of Royalties for Regions is that it has been established to supplement – not supplant – the existing provision of basic, essential infrastructure and services provided by Government throughout regional Western Australia. 6 Establishment of the Western Australian Regional Development Trust The Trust was established with the purpose of providing high-level, independent and impartial advice and recommendations to the Minister for Regional Development and Lands on the Fund. This includes providing advice on the allocation of money from the Fund and on the allocation of money between the Fund’s subsidiary accounts. The Trust is required to report to Parliament each year. Appointments to the Trust were made in June 2010. The Minister announced the appointment of former Western Australian Senator and Rhodes Scholar Andrew Murray as chair of the Trust for a three-year term on 16 June 2010. As a former Senator, Mr Murray is an experienced legislator and policy-maker. He also has a strong business background as an executive, director and owner of public and private companies.

An amount of $87million has been committed to date. The Country Age Pension Fuel Card provides eligible pensioners in country Western Australia with $500 a year towards the cost of fuel and taxi travel from participating providers. Country age pensioners live on modest, fixed incomes and generally do not have access to extensive public transport. This means that they have a greater reliance on their own vehicles or taxis to attend appointments, go shopping or visit family and friends. The fuel card provides support for the transport needs of an estimated 45,000 age pensioners living in regional areas. The number of cards issued during the year was 28,108, with $12.5million expended on fuel and $0.5million on taxis. Feedback received from cardholders has been very positive and highlights the card is already making life easier. The following comments are from existing cardholders:“We dont have to say ‘can we go now’- we decide when to leave” “I can’t get on the bus so the card gives me freedom-such a wonderful idea” “You’re not sitting at home on your own all the time- I’d be lost wothout my card” “Sometimes my son will fill his car up and drive me around. I feel like I am repaying my son who is good to me- it makes me feel good” Disbursed: $15.1million. Funded Agent: Department of Regional Development and Lands. Community Resource Centres WA Community Resource Centres are a cooperative network of more than 100 notfor-profit community owned and operated facilities, providing small rural and remote communities with local access to information, technology, training and a range of other services.

In the medium to longer-term, this will result in an improvement in the State’s proportion of exploration expenditure relative to other states and encourage more positive attitudes to Western Australia’s investment climate. Overall this initiative will enhance the development of regional infrastructure, facilitate across-government strategic regional projects, and enhance the ability to maintain and build capacity in the industry. Disbursed: $17.28million. Funded Agent: Department of Mines and Petroleum. 15 Regional Grants Scheme The Regional Grants Scheme (RGS) was announced as part of Royalties for Regions in February 2009.

The fund aims to support strong investment in regional Western Australia and to help leverage investment from other sources for projects that will contribute to the development of regional infrastructure and headworks. It also supports planning for infrastructure at the regional level and encourages regional communities to develop infrastructure projects that benefit local organisations and communities. As well as funding a range of individual strategic projects, the Regional Infrastructure and Headworks Fund includes an annual allocation for the Regional Grants Scheme. The money in the Regional Grants Scheme is for community, public and private organisations to improve and develop infrastructure and services in the regions. Western Australia’s nine Regional Development Commissions administer the Regional Grants Scheme, including assessing applications and determining grants. Initiatives supported by the Regional Infrastructure and Headworks Fund include: • The Pilbara Cities initiative; • Kimberley Revitalisation; • Gascoyne Revitalisation; • General projects. Pilbara Cities initiative The vision for Pilbara Cities is for modern vibrant cities and regional centres that can support and deliver a skilled workforce for major economic projects in the Pilbara. The realisation of this vision rests on the promotion of quality regional living with modern services and facilities that will encourage the development of strong local communities. It seeks to maximise opportunities for Indigenous communities, while lowering high local costs for people, businesses and Government. Phase one of the plan focuses on five key delivery initiatives: • Health — Increase the capacity of the regional health service, through upgrading hospitals, improving general clinical and medical imaging equipment, building new staff accommodation and developing a range of health improvement services across the Pilbara. • Energy — Provide underground power to the towns of South Hedland, Roebourne, Karratha and Onslow, ensuring energy security to the region. • Water — Support projects that demonstrate the feasibility of use/reuse of water extracted before, during and after mining operations, as well as ground and surface water supplementation. • Community Development Projects • Support projects prioritised by local governments that will provide the foundation for vibrant communities to grow, such as town centre revitalisation, improved leisure and learning facilities, new recreational centres and youth facilities, and new residential precincts that provide land and housing diversity. • Housing — Provide access to housing for essential (non-resource sector) service workers and develop indigenous sustainable housing. The Department of Regional Development and Lands has the lead role and responsibility for the the delivery of the Pilbara Revitalisation Plan (PRP) and Pilbara Cities Office through Royalties for Regions. Nickol Bay Hospital Upgrade Some $4million from Royalties for Regions has been expended towards a package of upgrades to Nickol Bay Hospital health services, the purchase of two 4x2 staff houses in Karratha, and a masterplan for a major health services upgrade in the West Pilbara. An obstetrician position has been funded and the hospital has achieved compliance with the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative. Funding has supported the establishment of a community midwifery service and the development of a training program, in partnership with King Edward Memorial Hospital, to support staff involved in obstetric services. The Nickol Bay Hospital and West Pilbara Masterplan blueprint for the future needs of the hospital and the region has been funded and completed. A Project Control Group has been established and internal stakeholder consultations are occuring. Draft health service delivery plans have now been completed. Between 2004-05 and 2007-08, the number of patients presenting for emergency treatment at the Nickol Bay Hospital increased by 45%. The difficulties experienced in attracting and retaining staff at the hospital have been exacerbated by the high cost of housing and rental costs in Karratha. With an increasing number of young families living in Karratha, there has also been an increased number of babies being delivered. The funding boost for staff accommodation, health services and obstetric services addresses these issues. Disbursed: $4million. Funded Agent: Department of Health. Pilbara Revitalisation Unit (Pilbara cities office) The Pilbara Revitalisation Unit is funded from the Regional Infrastructure fund. Key roles and functions of the unit are to manage and administer the Pilbara Revitalisation Plan and approved projects. Disbursed: $250,000. Funded Agent: Department of Regional Development and Lands. Pilbara Underground Power An allocation of $100million has been provided to Horizon Power to fund the Pilbara Underground Power Project (PUPP). The total project cost is $130million, with the balance of project funding, around $30million, coming from relevant local authorities. The PUPP will provide the cyclone-affected coastal communities of Karratha, Roebourne, South Hedland and Onslow with a safe and reliable electricity supply, by replacing ageing overhead electricity infrastructure with underground networks. The project will dramatically improve the provision of an essential service to regional residents and businesses during and following adverse weather events. Major equipment for the project has been ordered and installation is due to commence In Karratha in September 2010. The proponents expressing interest in the contribution phase of the project have been narrowed down to a field of five and negotiations are being held with these prospective proponents. The Office of Energy provides advisory services to the PUPP Steering Committee, while the Pilbara Development Commission provides the executive support services. Some $380,000 was provided to these agencies for their services in 2009-10. Disbursed: $11.88million Funded Agents: Horizon Power ($11.5million), Office of Energy ($125,000) and Pilbara Development Commission ($255,000). The new Pilbara Cities Office and the Pilbara Development Commission play important roles in the PRP. The Pilbara Cities Office will develop strategic initiatives in conjunction with the Pilbara Development Commission, Pilbara local government authorities, industry and community to maximise the benefits of the available funding. The Pilbara Cities Office will also coordinate the implementation of programs and initiatives across agencies and manage reporting for projects. It will also support the Pilbara Revitalisation Plan Steering Committee. This role will be further enhanced as a result of the Commission’s soon to be implemented Regional Development Australia (RDA) role with the federal government. 22 23 Housing for workers — South Hedland Town Centre Revitalisation The face of South Hedland will be rejuvenated with the help of a $23.3million allocation of Royalties for Regions funding. The mineral wealth of the Pilbara has driven growth and prosperity in key regional centres such as Port Hedland. Many have considered the town a temporary location for mining and business to operate on a fly-in, fly-out basis. The development of accommodation, amenities and social infrastructure has not kept pace with demand. LandCorp and the Town of Port Hedland have worked closely on the redevelopment plan to provide much needed land for a variety of homes and businesses. The redevelopment includes: Karratha Service Workers Accommodation The Karratha Service Workers Accommodation initiative will provide affordable accommodation to service workers and address the current shortfall in availability by delivering quality, subsidised housing in a central, highly accessible location. Royalties for Regions has allocated $30.4million to the construction of a service workers’ village that will provide 100 accommodation units (up to 270 beds) in a mix of one, two and three-bedroom units. The units will only be available for service workers in Karratha. LandCorp is the project manager and National Lifestyle Villages and Ecofit homes have been awarded the tender for construction and onsite facility management. Site works have started and the policy surrounding eligibility is being finalised. The project is scheduled for completion by the end of December 2010. Disbursed: $2million. Funded Agent: LandCorp. • • • • • the creation of a new main street; new roads; upgrades to existing roads to make them more pedestrian-friendly; new land parcels for up to 600 townhouses and apartments, and additional commercial and retail space. The public spaces and general amenity of the town will be improved and the works will link in with the new hospital. The project will create many opportunities for development, boost local businesses and social infrastructure, and stimulate a new economy for the town. The growing number of families settling permanently in the region will have a better lifestyle and much-improved infrastructure. Sunview Nominees Pty Ltd has recently been awarded the contract to undertake the development of this land and it is expected that civil construction will be finished in October 2010. Disbursed: $3.08million. Funded Agent: LandCorp.

The Pilbara Development Commission has a statutory responsibility to promote, facilitate and advocate for social and economic development in the region. The commission will significantly increase its representation in Karratha by late 2010. With the current office inappropriate for expansion, alternative office accommodation is required. Pilbara Development Commission – office accommodation Given the lack of suitable office space in Karratha, the Commission will refurbish the old Police Regional Headquarters in Karratha, which has become vacant since the construction of new headquarters, until such time as a new government facility is built in Karratha as part of the Pilbara Cities plan. The PDC will co-locate with other whole-of-Pilbara agencies such as RDL, Pilbara Cities office, Pilbara Regional Council, Regional Development Australia (Pilbara) and LandCorp at this location. Whilst the cost of the refurbishment is yet to be finalised, $300,000 has been allocated from the PRP Phase Two funding towards the project. The co-location of agencies that have a whole-of-region planning focus will ensure close interaction and cooperation for improved focus on the issues impacting the Pilbara. This will result in better economic and social outcomes for the region and will help realise financial benefits from the ability to work together on issues in one location and through the sharing of resources. Puntukurnu Aboriginal Medical Service – Jigalong new clinic and staff accommodation The Puntukurnu Aboriginal Medical Service (PAMS) provides services to Martu people in the East Pilbara. The main PAMS clinic is situated in Jigalong with single nurse stations in the remaining communities.

An amount of $60,000 has been allocated from the PRP Phase Two funding to enable the design and costing of the facility to be completed to provide suitable building and infrastructure for PAMS in Jigalong. The study and costings will then be used to leverage funding for the implementation of the medical service from the Office of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health, WA Country Health Service, National Rural and Remote Health Infrastructure Program and the Martu Trust. Approved: $60,000. Funded Agent: Department of Regional Development and Lands. Kanyirninpa Jukurrarrpa – Martu Knowledge Program Kanyirninpa Jukurrarrpa (KJ) is a Martu-owned, not-for-profit organisation working to build a viable economy for Martu people and communities. KJ works with Martu communities throughout the East Pilbara and is planning to employ 30 Martu people full-time plus more than 100 Martu people in part-time and casual positions by the end of 2010-11. KJ has been negotiating with the Commonwealth Government for funding for a chief executive officer, chief financial officer and a land management coordinator, and is confident that this funding will be secured. However, it is not possible in the current environment to hire key management staff without the provision of housing. Funding of $2.1million will be allocated (subject to KJ obtaining Commonwealth funds to employ its CEO, CFO and land management coordinator) to purchase three houses in Newman. The construction of these houses will make it easier to employ appropriately skilled people to fill the three critical senior management roles with KJ. Approved: $2.1million.

The existing facility is more than 40 years old and is licensed for 17 children. It continues to be operational; however, due to licensing, non-compliance issues and insufficient capacity, the building is in need of an upgrade. Rio Tinto will provide financial support towards the project and will progress discussions with the Shire of Roeburne on the ownership and management of this project and future operations. The total cost of the upgrade is $3million of which $1.5million has been allocated from the PRP Phase Two funding. Approved: $1.5million. Funded Agent: Department of Regional Development and Lands. Rio Tinto – Paraburdoo Child Care Centre There is no child care facility operating in Paraburdoo. The establishment of a new child care facility to cater for the demand for child-care services in the town is critical. Rio Tinto will provide financial support towards the project and will progress discussions with the Shire of Ashburton on the management of the project and future operations. Rio Tinto will also commit to ongoing support for the future management and service delivery of the centre. The total cost of the project is $3million of which $1.5million has been allocated from the PRP Phase Two funding. Town of Port Hedland – Cemetery Beach/Koombana Community Parks An extension of the Cemetery Beach Community Park to provide additional facilities, encouraging residents and tourists to take advantage of the popular foreshore location, will be undertaken. The park is too small to accommodate the number of people using it presently. A new park site has been identified in the Koombana area of South Hedland in response to public demand and consultation regarding Council’s Park Improvement Plan. The total cost of the project is $6million, of which $3million will be allocated from the PRP Phase Two funding. Approved: $1.5million. Funded Agent: Department of Regional Development and Lands. Approved: $3million. Funded Agent: Department of Regional Development and Lands. Shire of Roebourne – Karratha Education Leisure & Training (KELT) Campus The Town of Port Hedland periodically experiences a shortfall in the number of general practitioners who are available to the community. These shortfalls have generally been overcome by the two private firms that operate GP clinics securing employees through their networks. The Shire of Roebourne has been allocated a further $16million from the PRP Phase Two funding for the Karratha Education Leisure & Training Project. This money will bring the funding back up to the original $20.3million allocated in 2008-09 following the reallocation of $16million of the initially approved amount to new projects in 200910. Approved: $16million Funded Agent: Department of Regional Development and Lands. Town of Port Hedland – General Practitioner Housing Project While solutions have been found, the private practices and the Pilbara Division of GPs advise that the continuity of GP services is likely to remain problematic while accommodation costs stay high. Funding of $1.5million has been allocated from the PRP Phase Two funding for the construction of nine to ten dwellings for use by GPs working locally. Approved: $1.5million. Funded Agent: Department of Regional Development and Lands. Shire of East Pilbara – East Pilbara Communications Enhancement The project objective is to provide a reliable and robust communication capability to the East Pilbara by extending the optical fibre cable that terminates at Newman by 200 kilometres to Nullagine. This will enable Government agencies, residential and commercial operators to access high-speed wireless and terrestrial broadband services, to further develop their activities and operations. The total cost of the project is $12.9million, of which $2.4million will be allocated from the PRP Phase Two funding. Approved: $2.4million. Funded Agent: Department of Regional Development and Lands. 30 31 KIMBERLEY REVITALISATION Ord-East Kimberley Expansion Project The Western Australian State Government has initiated its vision of expanding the Ord irrigation scheme through the Royalties for Regions program. The State Government’s investment of $220million in the Ord-East Kimberley Expansion Project and the Federal Government’s $195million investment from the Nation Building for the East Kimberley Development Package will help create a stronger, more vibrant and sustainable regional community in northern Australia. GASCOYNE REVITALISATION Gascoyne Irrigation Pipeline The existing pipeline asset has significant leakages. During periods of high demand for water, the leakages contribute to low pressure, making it difficult to transport water at the correct pressure for irrigation. The upgrade will ensure more efficient delivery of water to existing properties and promote water savings. The project will commence in the 2010-11 financial year on the finalisation of project contracts. Approved: $7.565million to 2011-12. Funding Agent: Department of Water. In May 2010, construction began on Phase one works, including the main water delivery channel and access road. Significant Indigenous employment outcomes have been reached by the construction team. Phase two construction will commence in 2011 with similar Indigenous employment levels expected. Disbursed: $27.7million. Funding Agent: Department of State Development. Aboriginal Housing Kimberley $16.5million has been allocated to the Aboriginal Housing Kimberley Project. This project provides for local Aboriginal organisations to take the lead role for land assembly, housing construction and maintenance, as well as management of the resultant housing assets. The project will add to the existing land release and community housing development programs of LandCorp and the Department of Housing, and provide new housing and new housing management options for Fitzroy Crossing. Disbursed: $16.5million. Funding Agent: Kimberley Development Commission. 32 33 Headworks rebate OTHER INITIATIVES The Distribution Headworks Charge is a one-off charge for customers requiring a new connection to Western Power’s electricity network, or upgrading the capacity of their existing connection. This charge is only required at remote or edge-of-grid locations where tariffs would not recover the cost of providing increased network capacity. Regional communications projects During the 2009-10 year, an allocation of $1.2million from the Royalties for Regions Regional Grant Scheme Strategic Reserve was provided to the Department of Commerce to construct two mobile telephone towers in Balingup and Quongup. The objective was to significantly improve mobile communications coverage for the Blackwood Valley area from Nannup to Balingup. Disbursed: $1.2million. Funding Agent: Department of Regional Development and Lands. The current Headworks Charge and Subsidy Scheme were introduced in 2007 and have drawn criticism from some customers facing large charges despite the subsidy. On 3 May 2010, Cabinet endorsed a submission to increase the Subsidy Scheme to 100 per cent of the charge (up to $1million) and for $7.3million of Royalties for Regions funding to be used to refund customers who have paid the Headworks Charge since its inception in 2007. Housing for workers – Government Regional Officers’ Housing (GROH) This project provides additional GROH housing sites throughout regional WA to address the lack of suitable quality housing and the impact this is having on regional service delivery and the sustainability of regional communities. Starting in July 2010, Western Power will be providing refunds to the customers who have paid the charge on the basis of the information provided to Western Power at the time of payment. There is no requirement for customers to apply for a refund. Disbursed: $7.3million. Funding Agent: Western Power. An additional 400 GROH houses will be provided under this program. As at 30 June 2010 139 houses have been completed. Disbursed: $114million. Funding Agent: Department of Housing. Assistance towards redevelopment of the Kalgoorlie Health Campus The Government has committed $15.8million through the Royalties for Regions program towards the redevelopment of Kalgoorlie Health Campus. In March 2010, the first phase of the redevelopment began with the construction of a new palliative care addition to the existing medical ward at the campus. The addition will include three purpose-built rooms for the exclusive use of palliative care patients, to provide greater patient comfort and privacy. The campus is the major trauma centre servicing the Goldfields Region with an approximate catchment of 56,000 people, as well as fly-in, fly-out workers located on remote mining sites. Approved: $15.458million to 2015-16. Funding Agent: Department of Health. Assistance towards redevelopment of the Albany Health Campus The Government has included $60.9million in the Royalties for Regions program towards the redevelopment of Albany Health Campus. John Holland Pty Ltd was awarded the contract for the first stage of design and construction in May 2010. The new Albany Health Campus will feature an improved and expanded range of services that include a bigger emergency department, more mental health beds, expanded renal dialysis capability, expanded cancer services, a new surgical centre, and upgraded obstetric and birthing suites. Approved: $60.896million to 2015-16. Funding Agent: Department of Health. Pre-Feasibility Pilbara/Gascoyne Regional Airport development Scheme The Regional Airport Development Scheme (RADS) is an infrastructure development grant scheme available for regional airport owners in Western Australia. It is administered by the Department of Transport. Funding assistance is targeted at improving access to basic air services, providing greater opportunities for tourism, enabling upgrade of facilities through infrastructure development projects, funding masterplans, developing terminals and maintaining Aircraft Movement Areas. Generally, RADS funding is based on joint funding. A number of pre-feasibility assessments of water projects have been supported under the Pre-Feasibility Pilbara/Gascoyne funding allocation. Funding has supported the Carnarvon Artesian Basin Advisory Group to investigate pastoral diversification opportunities and make recommendations to government on sustainable development opportunities that utilise the water resource. Funding was also used to commission an independent assessment of the business case for the upgrade of the Gascoyne Irrigation Pipeline. Disbursed: $180,000. Funding Agent: Department of Regional Development and Lands. This year, the RADS program was boosted by $5.5million funding through the Royalties for Regions program, with the Department of Transport providing $1.87million from their baseline funding. The funding will support 36 regional airports, across seven regions. Regional airports play a vital role in supporting businesses and tourism in Western Australia and the program ensures continuing sustainability of this vital infrastructure. Disbursed: $5.51million Funding Agent: Department of Transport. 34 35 Royalties for Regions funding allocation 2009-10 Country Local Government Fund Cross Regional ($116.0million) LIARNA(b) Country Local Government Fund Regional Organisations of Councils New Regional Infrastructure $4.4million Regional Community Services Fund $35.0million Assets (not yet allocated) Capacity Building - Regional Governance Services and Asset Management Tools Kimberley ($158.1million) Royal Flying Doctor Service(a) $1.3million Regional Infrastructure and Headworks Fund $2.5million Regional Community Services Fund Country Age Pension Fuel Card $12.5million Bushchange Housing Grant $10.0million Royal Flying Doctor Service(a) $4.3million Patient Assisted Travel Scheme $8.7million Regional Workers Incentives $4.7million Boarding Away from Home Allowance $1.8million Community Resource Centres $11.0million Exploration Incentive Scheme $4.5million Ord-East Kimberley Expansion Project $86.0million Regional Airport Development Scheme $959,000 Housing for Workers(d) $50.0million Northern Towns Development Fund(c) $4.0million Regional Grants Scheme ($6.8m plus $0.2m admin) $7.0million Regional Infrastructure and Headworks Fund Exploration Incentive Scheme $52,000 Regional Grants Scheme - Strategic Reserve $10.0million Government of Western Australia Department of Regional Development and Lands New Regional and Statewide Initiatives Royal Flying Doctor Service (in addition to Regional Community $1.0million Services Fund payment) Other New Regional and Statewide Initiatives $14.5million Royalties for Regions KIMBERLEY EDITION 1 - APRIL 2010 Sources: Department of Treasury and Finance Budget 2009-10 and Department of Regional Development and Lands (involving consultation with relevant agencies).
