[Supplementary Information No A6.] Question: Mr P.C. Tinley referred the parliamentary secretary to the second dot point on page 497, “Defence Industry and the Australian Marine Complex (AMC)”. It states —

The Industry and Innovation Division will continue to implement recommendations contained in the State’s response to the Defence White Paper ...

How many contracts have been won in the past 12 months and how many does the government expect to win in the next 12 months? I am talking about industry generally through the AMC and their total value, past and future.

Answer: The Common User Facility (CUF) does not “win” projects in a standalone capacity, local industry wins the projects and executes them through the CUF, if unable to do so in their own facilities. The CUF facilitates industry’s ability to win contracts by promoting past successful projects undertaken by local companies that have used the CUF as part of their project execution plans. The low risk to project delivery in terms of quality, timeliness and cost when utilising local content and accessing the CUF as part of major project plans is also promoted. The estimated economic benefit from projects undertaken at the CUF over the last twelve months is $220m. These projects include:

• Continued support to the Gorgon Project with Sub-sea Spools, LNG process plant dressing, logistics support,

• Defence services including docking of submarines and in-water support of frigates, • Marine maintenance of North West Shelf operational vessels, • Superyacht building and trials, • Wheatstone Project – power generator control room construction and process plant control rooms

construction, and • Minor short term projects in support of the local industry and load-out of projects manufactured outside

of the facility. The estimated economic benefit from projects in the next year is $150m and includes the completion of projects that are ongoing from this year and:

• Additional Defence works - docking of submarines and in-water support of frigates, • Two major subsea spool projects, • Alcoa process plant, and • Coal reclaimer machine for east coast operations.

The State is also promoting the capability of the CUF in regard to the following major maritime projects: Future Submarine, Future Frigate and Maritime Operational Support Capability.

In support of these projects the State will be promoting the CUF’s capabilities at the major international Maritime Exhibition and Conference PACIFIC 2015 taking place in Sydney from 6-8 October 2015.


Question: Ms L.L. Baker: asked how many inquiries does the Department of Commerce’s Wageline refer to the Employment Law Centre?

Answer: The Department of Commerce does not keep statistics on inquiries referred to the Employment Law Centre. Employment Law Centre reports indicate that 127 clients were known to be referred from Wageline to the Employment Law Centre in 2014. The statistics for the first half of 2015 are not available at this time.


Question: Mr D.A. Templeman: asked whether the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Commerce could provide details of how many retirement villages are currently under investigation by the department for whatever reason because of noncompliance or concerns about their not complying with the legislation? And a list of all investigations currently being undertaken by the department with regard to retirement villages and their management in Western Australia.


Answer: There are currently seven retirement villages with active investigations. The matters under investigation have not been concluded and no findings have been made as yet. It is therefore not considered appropriate to disclose the names of the villages concerned.

[Supplementary Information No. A9]

Question: Mr D.A. Templeman: asked whether the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Commerce could provide details of whether there are any retirement villages that are being investigated for the bullying or abuse of their residents.

Answer: There is one retirement village currently under investigation in which allegations of bullying form a component of the issues being examined. As the matter is a current investigation it is not considered appropriate to identify the village.


Question: Ms J.M. Freeman: asked for the ‘Breakdown of that rental accommodation account, and the areas in which money was spent, such as how much is being paid for the magistrate, because that is only recent; it only came in with the act, did it not? The department has not been paying for the magistrate before that, but it does not really matter. Details on the magistrate, the policy work the department is doing, and the phone line. Is the parliamentary secretary able to break that down to show where it is going over the forward estimates?

(a) Breakdown of the rental accommodation account and the areas in which money is spent

In accordance with Schedule 1, Division 1, subclause (3)(b) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1987 (RT Act), the interest accrued by the Rental Accommodation Account (RA Account) is applied to: • reimbursement of costs and expenses of the Department of Commerce (the Department) in the

incurred in the operation and administration of the Magistrates Court in connection with dealing with minor cases under the RT Act and the Residential Parks (Long-stay Tenants) Act 2006 (RP Act) ($2.7 million in 2013-14);

• grants in the form of service agreements with 16 not-for-profit agencies that provide tenancy advice and education services to residential tenants (the Tenancy Network) ($3.6 million (exc GST) in 2014-15); and

• a grant to the Department of Child Protection and Family Support (DCPFS) for supplementary funding of financial counselling services in accordance with a 2002 Cabinet decision ($0.5 million in 2013-14).

Reimbursement to DoTAG • DoTAG has been reimbursed from the RA Account for the costs and expenses it has incurred in

the operation and administration of the Magistrates Court in connection with dealing with minor cases under the RT Act and the RP Act since the RT Act commenced in 1987.

• The Department is not able to comment on how the reimbursement of the costs and expenses of DoTAG are calculated.

Breakdown of the Department’s costs attributed to the RA Account Of the $5.9 million the Department drew down from the RA Account in 2013-14, the costs relate to: • processing of residential tenancy bonds (43%); • compliance and conciliation of tenancy matters (16%); • accommodation and consumer protection overheads (15%); • Contact Centre and market analysis related to tenancy (8%); • legal services and strategic policy work related to tenancy (5%); and • other costs corporate communications, HR, IT and financial services (13%). The breakdown of expenses over the forward estimates is shown below*.

Expenses 2015-16 2016-17 2017-18 2018-19 Grants to Charitable and Other Public Bodies RA Account Grants $3.7m $3.8m $3.9m $4.0m Other Reimbursement to the Department of Commerce $6.3m $6.4m $6.4m $6.5m

Question: Mr D.A. Templeman: asked can the Parliamentary Secretary report on any progress made on retirement villages being charged commercial rates for electricity that is on-sold to them at a commercial rate rather charged at a residential rate?

Answer: The Department of Finance, Public Utilities Office is working with Synergy and Horizon Power to develop and implement arrangements that will seek to ensure residential customers under electricity on-selling arrangements, such as retirement village residents, pay no more for these supplies than the regulated power charges paid by households.

[Supplementary Information No A24.] Question: Ms R. Saffioti: asked can the Minister provide the reason for the substantial reduction in the budget for minor works from $73 107 000 in 2014–15 down to $28 605 000 in 2015–16?

Answer: At the start of the year the Minor Works category commences with a low base, and generally, the level of minor works increases throughout the year as additional funds are provided via either third parties or


Main Roads redirection of internal funds to undertake small Capital Works projects. Hence the difference between the 2014-15 estimated out-turn of $71 million compared to the 2015-16 budget of $28 million. In the case of 2014-15 the effect has been magnified somewhat with an historically high base of $44 million plus additional works added to the category during the year. The 2015-16 initial budget of $28 million is only slightly lower than the estimated forward estimates, or normal trend.

[Supplementary Information No A25.] Question: Ms R. Saffioti: asked can the Minister provide a list of road projects that have and have not been delivered on time and on budget? Answer: The data extract from Main Roads system has identified a total of 93 eligible contracts valued at $640 million to be completed by June 2015.

However, the current “On time/ On budget” key performance indicator relates to all Main Roads Works contracts with an award value exceeding $136,363 and are scheduled to be completed by the end of May 2015, this includes 82 contracts valued at $589 million.

Based on the information in the Main Roads Contract Tracking System (CTS):

• 63 of 82 contracts (77%) were completed on time. • 79 of 82 contracts (96%) have been completed on budget.

Please refer to Attachment 1 for further information in regards to 57 contracts with an award value exceeding $500,000. The raw data is provided and then broken down by contract with the reasons for non-compliance in each case.

It should be noted that it is possible that there will be changes in these results when reporting in June 2015 as further information becomes available. The narrative for each reason is drawn from the regular reporting provided to Main Roads Corporate Executive. Attachment 1

[Supplementary Information No A29.] Question: Ms R. Saffioti: asked, in relation to page 826 of the Budget Statements can the PTA advise what the anticipated bus service kilometre increases are particularly for new suburbs, for 2015–16 and 2016–17?

Answer:

2015-16

An additional 850, 000 kilometres are anticipated to be introduced across the network, with new and extended services in Alkimos, Baldivis, the Ellenbrook area and Landsdale. Services will also be improved in existing areas, such as new links to Curtin University, the airport and Maylands.

Additional services projects are achieved through a combination of service kilometre growth and the reallocation of kilometres from under-performing services.

2016-17

An additional 600, 000 kilometres are anticipated to be introduced, primarily in creating the new high-frequency Route 960 Superbus from Mirrabooka Bus Station to Curtin University via Perth City.

Division 9: WA Health —

[Supplementary Information No A30.] Question: Ms M.M. Quirk: referred to Health System Overview, page 125 of the budget papers and asked– “I want some information about the presentations in recent months to emergency departments by patients suffering from respiratory illness and asthma because of prescribed burns. I want to know whether there has been an increase in presentations, and how many, if any, health warnings has the Department of Health put out this year?”

Answer: Data on Emergency Department (ED) presentations of patients suffering from respiratory illness and asthma because of prescribed burns is not recorded directly in ED Data Collection. The Department of Health (the Department) does not generally directly issue health warnings to the public in relation to prescribed burns. The Department has provided environmental and fire management agencies health-related information for their media statements and the agreed process between these agencies is that health warnings are included in media statements as part of “Smoke Haze Alerts”

[Supplementary Information No A31.] Question: Mr R.H. Cook: asked “Could the minister please provide the current weighted average unit costs of all hospitals in Western Australia?”

Answer: The latest national information available on the cost per national weighted average unit (NWAU) is that published by the National Health Performance Authority in their report titled National Health Performance Authority 2015, Hospital Performance: Costs of acute admitted patients in public hospitals in 2011–12 (the Report).

Appendix 1 to the Report on pages 32 and 33 provides the cost per national weighted average unit for major and large metropolitan hospitals in WA and can be found at the following link:

http://www.myhospitals.gov.au/docs/default-source/our-report-pdfs/hp_costsofacuteadmittedpatients_2011_12_rpt.pdf

[Supplementary Information No A32.] Question: Mr R.H. Cook: referred to Fiona Stanley Hospital Facilities Management Contract Negotiations, page 124 of the budget papers and asked—

“Would it be possible for the minister to provide us with a summary of information in relation to service delivery by Serco under its KPIs, and perhaps for simplification purposes across just those five areas, for the purposes of expediency and moving us forward?”


Answer: According to the May 2015 Service Report provided by Serco and correct as at the end of May 2015, the Facility Management Services that were abated the most over the period (February to April 2015) are Cleaning, Estate Services, Helpdesk, Information and Communications Technology and Internal Logistics. A summary of the KPIs which accumulated the most failure points in each Service is provided below.

Question: Ms M.M. Quirk: asked and Dr K.D. Hames: stated – “I am happy to provide the answer to the first part of the question by way of supplementary information. As the member would expect, we do not have those numbers. We will provide the numbers of patients in the rehabilitation unit at Fiona Stanley Hospital who are from north of the river.”

Answer: From its opening on 4 October 2014 to the 10 June 2015, there have been 606 patients who, after receiving rehabilitation care, were discharged from the rehabilitation wards at Fiona Stanley Hospital. Of these, 188 (31.0%) were from the northern suburbs.

Please note that Inpatient Data Collections identifies the location of the patient based on their recorded postcode and suburb. The IDC use of the classification “northern suburbs” aligns with standard practice within the Department of Health, specifically the Epidemiology Branch.

Division 50: Fisheries —


Question: Mr D.J. Kelly: asked if the Department would be willing to provide supplementary information on the number of commercial fishers who have logged into and used the Fish Eye system each week since it has been rolled out and the budgeted annual operating costs for the Fish Eye system over the forward estimates.

Answer: Fish Eye is the name used to describe an information technology project that has modernised various systems and process used in fisheries management in Western Australia. The project has improved Department of Fisheries’ (Department) information technology infrastructure, replaced an outdated licensing system and built a catch and effort system capable of receiving both electronic and paper based returns from fishers.

The key components of the Fish Eye solution were delivered in the middle of 2013 and the West Coast Rock lobster fishery has been operating under the new arrangements since that time. Fisheye provides for:

• catch and effort statistics from fishers to be lodged electronically.

• licence renewals to be conducted electronically.

• commercial fishers to trade in quota in real time and analyse their results.

The Department does not maintain records of fishers who have logged onto the system, so usage of the system is best reflected in the statistics provided below relating to use of electronic lodgement or registration for using Fish Eye. In addition to the information below, 208 fishers have renewed Commercial Fishing Licences on-line since the service was provided as part of Fish Eye.

Catch and Effort Statistics

The following information includes the number of fishers who have used Fish Eye electronic submissions at least once in the relevant week. Fishers will typically submit information on more than one day per week.

LOG008

This KPI measures the percentage of non-urgent logistics jobs that are completed within 35 minutes from attendance at the job. In February 85.48% of jobs were completed in time. The target for this KPI is 90% of jobs are completed within 35 minutes of attendance. This KPI was met in March and April.

The total recurrent costs of the various components of the Fish Eye program is $446,000 per annum.


Question: Mr D.J. Kelly: asked the minister to provide information which was clarified as being information on our port monitoring program and any results from that and whether biosecurity plans are subsequently in place for those ports and also for marinas.

Answer: The Department of Fisheries’ (Department) biosecurity program works on a risk based approach and seeks to maximise effectiveness through a focus on preventing the establishment of pests in partnership with industry. At the commencement of the program, ports were identified as high risks for receiving, and further dissemination of, marine pests and hence were an early focus for the program.

Thirteen known WA ports have monitoring plans in place for invasive marine species – Broome, Port Hedland, Dampier, Cape Lambert, Cape Preston, Anketell, Geraldton, Fremantle (and Henderson), HMAS Stirling, Bunbury, Albany, Esperance, and Barrow Island. The cost of implementation of the monitoring plans is met in most cases by the relevant port. In a few instances costs are currently borne by a relevant industry partner (for example, Chevron Gorgon meets the costs of monitoring Barrow Island as part of Ministerial Conditions under the Environmental Protection Act 1986).

The Department currently provides and funds comprehensive monitoring of Dampier, Port Hedland and Fremantle ports every two years to meet responsibilities under the Inter-Governmental Agreement on Biosecurity (IGAB). This monitoring system was designed more than ten years ago, targets non-priority species, and is now considered excessive. Monitoring every two years under the IGAB is expensive and considered less than effective as an early warning system for introduction of pests through vessel biofouling. The use of a simplified, manageable system based primarily on “settlement arrays” which are examined every three months is more appropriate and cost effective.. This system is being transitioned into, and funded by, the three ports


above. As a result, the two year monitoring programs will cease at June 30 2015 and be replaced with the new three monthly program.

The results of the monitoring program are outlined within the Department’s annual Status Reports of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources SOFAR. The relevant section is on pages 321-333 of the most recent SOFAR report which is available on the Department’s website http://www.fish.wa.gov.au/Documents/sofar/status_reports_of_the_fisheries_and_aquatic_resources_2013-14.pdf .

With specific reference to marinas, the Department recognises the risk posed by recreational vessels and marinas for the introduction and spread of invasive marine pests. The Department has provided input into the development of a ‘marine biosecurity’ module of the ‘Fish Friendly Marinas’ initiative instigated by NSW and now being extended to other states. This marina-accreditation program considers aspects such as safety, security, environmental sustainability and more recently marine biosecurity. The Department is able to assess competence against the marine biosecurity parameters of the program. The Royal Perth Yacht Club is the first WA marina to be accredited as a ‘Fish Friendly Marina’. The Department will continue to assist in promotion of the program to WA marina operators through stakeholder engagement and partnership opportunities.

The Department also undertakes “delimiting” surveys at high risk marinas such as at Geraldton, Albany and Hillarys to establish baselines and identify patters of spread of existing pests (Didemnum perlucidum, and Codium fragile fragile).


Question: Mr P. Papalia: asked the Minister to provide, through supplementary information, the number of qualified biofouling inspectors who Fisheries employ as fisheries officers or any other positions and he would also like the number of biofouling inspectors who work in the state, who Fisheries does not employ – consultants or freelance and to know whether that number has decreased or increased in the last two years since a new qualification was created in 2013 and run by TAFE.

Answer: To attain accreditation, Biofouling Inspectors must complete:

1. The accredited TAFE course Biofouling Inspections Cert IV (either by attendance or recognition of prior learning or RPL)

2. Considerable infield inspection experience

Note: Existing approved Biofouling Inspectors have a four year grace period in which to complete the TAFE course.

Trends over past 3-5 years

TAFE has conducted one complete course (all three modules) in 2014, with a second planned for late 2015. Trend data will be available from 2015 on.

* Note that approximately the same number of people have expressed interest in attending the TAFE course without the intention of becoming an inspector. Instead, they want to use the information and experience from the course for work in related industries e.g. as a vessel manager, or Safety Health Environment (SHE) Manager for environmental consultancies, shipping agencies, or supporting services. This will improve vessel management for biofouling and invasive marine species, and therefore better marine biosecurity outcomes for WA.

[Supplementary Information No A40.] Question: Mr P.C. Tinley: asked whether the minister could provide clarity around the decision taken to go for more than a single contractor in the metropolitan area in the recontracting of the head contractor services for maintenance in the Department of Housing’s housing stock.

Answer: Engaging multiple head contractors to manage the three metropolitan zones allows for comparisons between head maintenance contractor performance across the metropolitan regions. It also ensures business continuity in the event that a head-contractor in the metropolitan region could not meet service requirements.


Question: Mr P.C. Tinley: asked whether the minister could provide the cost of the Northgate IT system, broken down into three asset classes: hardware, software, and the cost of implementation and training.

Answer: The total project costs (inclusive of GST) for the purchase and implementation of Habitat (the Northgate IT system) can be broken down as follows:

Software $ 1 932 615

Question: Mr F.M. Logan: asked whether the minister could provide clarity about the difference in the numbers provided to him in questions without notice 560 and 602 and the differential between the response to those questions and what has just been reported in response to questions in this estimates hearing.

Answer: The figures in question are the 18 000 figure reported in the Budget Papers and the figure of 13 731 reported to Parliament in response to questions without notice 560 and 602. The difference between the figures can be attributed to the following factors.

1. Effective Date The 2015-16 Budget Papers reported that more than 18 000 figure affordable homes have been delivered under the Affordable Housing Strategy. This represents the number as at 31 January 2015. The figures reported in questions without notice 560 and 620 and the figures reported by Mr Paul Whyte (acting director general) in the estimates hearing are correct as at 31 March 2015.

2. Newly Constructed Dwellings vs All Dwellings Delivered Under the Strategy Questions without notice 560 and 620 requested the number of dwellings physically constructed as part of the Affordable Housing Strategy, which was 13 731 as at 31 March 2015. The total number of affordable homes delivered under the Strategy at 31 March 2015, is 19 170, which is the figure provided by Mr Whyte. This includes both newly constructed homes and established dwellings that are affordable housing opportunities for people on low and moderate incomes.


Question: Mr P.C. Tinley: asked whether the minister could provide the resources applied to a government response to the risk around asbestos-related issues in public housing.

(In more detail, Mr Tinley was seeking the details of the resources that have been allocated to asbestos removal from public housing stock and the number of dwellings that asbestos has been removed from, including the ones from which we have physically removed the asbestos and from which we are reducing or taking away the risk.)

Answer: The Housing Authority provides staff with nationally accredited training to identify, inspect, record and manage the removal of asbestos containing materials (ACM) in their work place.

Since 2008 to 16 June 2015, the Housing Authority has reduced the number of public housing properties with ACM from 17,025 to 12,828.

From 1 July 2014 to 16 June 2015, the Housing Authority issued maintenance works orders totalling $1,406,173 to remove or reduce the risk of exposure to ACM in its properties. This figure does not include the cost of removing ACM where that cost is one part of a large quoted refurbishment or demolition work paid by invoice; however, the ACM’s removal is recorded on the Authority’s ACM register.

Question: Ms J.M. Freeman: asked whether the minister could provide details of: (a) the number of the full-time equivalents such as direct employees and casual staff brought in from any agencies to go through the Seniors Card verification process; (b) the number of volunteers in the Seniors Card Centre; and (c) the number of volunteers not working in the Seniors Card Centre as a result of the review.

Answer: (a) The Department of Local Government and Communities has employed 14 FTE staff on a casual basis through an agency to undertake the Seniors Card verification process.

(b) Twenty-six volunteers are available to the WA Seniors Card Centre. The number of volunteers working on a daily basis varies due to availability.

(c) The Seniors Card verification project commenced on 18 May 2015. Volunteer numbers in the WA Seniors Card Centre were not reduced as a result of the Seniors Card verification project.

The Department anticipated that following the announcement of the State Budget, there would be a larger than usual demand on the resources of the WA Seniors Card Centre as a result of seniors seeking information on the changes to concessions announced in the budget as well as advice on any changes to their own concessions status. To meet this demand, the Department recruited 10 additional FTE staff on a casual basis through an agency. Staff were recruited specifically for skills related to the interrogation and interpretation of database information, phone manner and efficient data entry. Volunteers at the WA Seniors Card Centre were offered alternative duties during this time. Volunteer numbers varied due to availability. Volunteers were transitioned back onto the Seniors Information Service phone line from 2 June 2015. The following numbers of volunteers working within the WA Seniors Card Centre from 4 May 2015 to 10 June 2015 are set out below:

• 4 May 2015 to 8 May 2015 – 7 • 11 May 2015 to 15 May 2015 – 8 • 18 May 2015 to 22 May 2015 – 6 • 25 May 2015 to 29 May 2015 – 3 • 2 June 2015 to 5 June 2015 – 9 • 8 June 2015 to 10 June 2015 – 12.

Question: Ms M.M. Quirk: asked Mr J.M. Francis: I agree to provide the member for Girrawheen, as supplementary information, the list of the expert advisers who did the consultation for the environmental study—whoever it was—for the Success Fire Station site.

Answer: The Workplace Contaminant Investigation – Success Career Fire and Rescue Station (February 2015) was undertaken by Golder Associates.

The environmental investigation was overseen and the report prepared by, Mike Woods (EHS Consultant) and Sarah McKiernan (Principal Toxicologist) of Golder Associates.

The Investigation of Kidney Cancer Cases at Success Fire Station (February 2015) was undertaken by the Department of Health WA.

An Independent Expert Advisory Panel provided the Independent Expert Advisory Panel Report on Investigation of Four Cases of Renal Cell Carcinoma in the Firefighters at Career Fire and Rescue Station in Hammond Road, Success (June 2015).

Members of the Panel were Dr. Joel Silbert (Occupational Physician), Dr. Tom Van Hagen (Medical Oncologist) and Professor Phillip Weinstein (Public Health Physician).


Question: Ms M.M. Quirk: asked Mr J.M. Francis: I agree to provide as supplementary information the number of SMS alerts that were sent out for each incident over the past 12 months.

Mr J.M. Francis: Yes, supplementary information A57 will include the total cost but also the best breakdown that we can reasonably provide. The Chairman (Ms W.M. Duncan): And the number of SMS alerts and the total cost. Answer: Emergency Alert is the national telephone warning system used by emergency services to send voice messages to landlines and text messages to mobile phones within a defined area about likely or actual emergencies.

The ongoing development of Emergency Alert has been managed by Emergency Management Victoria with input provided by each jurisdiction through the Contract Oversight Management Committee.

The Emergency Alert project phases are funded by all State and Territory governments, with each jurisdiction contributing to operating costs based on the proportion of the total population (WA 10%). This fee provides WA with the capability to utilise the Emergency Alert system.

Additional service fees are incurred from telecommunication carriers, Telstra and Optus, when Emergency Alert is utilised. Vodafone is also a telecommunication carrier, however they do not charge carrier fees.

From 1 July 2014 to 19 June 2015, Emergency Alerts were used for 23 campaigns in Western Australia, including Boddington, Bullsbrook and Northcliffe fires. A total of 231,955 voice messages to landlines and text messages to mobile phones were sent for those 23 campaigns.


Table 1 below provides an overview of the total costs for Emergency Alert in Western Australia including the operating costs and telecommunication carrier fees from 1 July 2014 to 19 June 2015.

Question: Mr M.J. Cowper: asked Mr J.M. Francis: I agree to provide the member for Murray–Wellington with further information about the breakdown of the 24 FTEs he referred to on page 716 of the Budget Statements and where they have been allocated.

Answer: Other than the reference to the number of FTEs, the footnote narrative under the “Prevention and Mitigation Services” and “Emergency Services” tables are identical. These footnotes provide an explanation for the total increase in FTEs from the 2014/15 estimated actual FTE to the budgeted 2015/16 FTE of 38, for both DFES services, comprising 14 and 24 respectively .

[Supplementary Information No A59.] Question: The Chairman (Ms W.M. Duncan):Can the member clarify the supplementary information she wants the minister to provide?

Ms M.M. Quirk: It is the number of CALD employees within DFES, and in particular within the career firefighter cohort.

Mr J.M. Francis: That is the number of those who identify as being culturally and linguistically diverse?

Ms M.M. Quirk: Yes.

Mr J.M. Francis: I undertake to provide that information

Answer: As at 15 June 2015, the number of DFES employees who are identified as being culturally and linguistically diverse is 68 and within the Firefighter cohort, the number is 16.


Question: Ms M.M. Quirk: I think a couple of weeks ago, a public notice was published calling for the nomination of a prescribed association under this consultative provision of the Bush Fires Act. I wonder what the purpose of that advertisement was.

Ms M.M. Quirk: The nominations closed at four o’clock yesterday. Can the minister indicate how many organisations have nominated?

Mr J.M. Francis: I cannot, but I will try to answer that later today.

Ms M.M. Quirk: Can I take it as supplementary, please?

Mr J.M. Francis: I will provide the member for Girrawheen with the names of those who have nominated to be the nominated association. Answer: Two organisations replied to the notice that was published seeking nominations from associations or other bodies of persons to establish an advisory committee to provide advice or assistance on matters relevant to the operation or administration of the bush fire brigades under the Bush Fires Act 1954.

Question: Mr P. Papalia: asked Mr J.M. Francis: I agree to provide by supplementary information to the member for Warnbro a baseline estimate on what it costs to accept a prisoner into prison; an outline of additional costs on a case-by-case basis that would make that initial cost of accepting a prisoner more expensive; and also a breakdown on that prison by prison across the state.

beds. By the time the Eastern Goldfields replacement facility comes on-line, the program would have successfully delivered over 2,500 additional beds within the original parameters. The $655 million referred to is the last line that includes $554.5 million in capital expenditure, and $100.4 in recurrent expenditure, over five years.

Recurrent expenditure was set aside for operational costs associated with the building program that included new prisons at West Kimberley and Eastern Goldfields, along with the expansion of Acacia Prison.

Additional funds of $162,384 have also been spent on providing additional beds to Bandyup Womens Prison ($127,773), Greenough Regional Prison ($18,584) and West Kimberley Regional Prison ($16,027).


Question: Ms M.M. Quirk: asked Mr J.M. Francis: I just need to make it clear, because I have to put this on the record for Hansard. I agree to provide as supplementary information to the member for Girrawheen a breakdown of the number of sex offenders, but not those who are categorised as dangerous sex offenders, currently being held who have engaged in —

Ms M.M. Quirk: No, those who have currently been released without having done a program.

Mr J.M. Francis: For what period?

Ms M.M. Quirk: The last 12 months.

Mr J.M. Francis: Okay. That is for sex offenders who have not completed a sexual offending rehabilitation program in the last 12 months.

Ms M.M. Quirk: In other words, those who have served their full term.

Mr J.M. Francis: It is for those who have served their full term, because they would not have been eligible for parole.

Answer: From 1 June 2014 to 31 May 2015, there were 81 prisoners convicted of a sexual offence (other than those declared a Dangerous Sexual Offender under the Dangerous Sexual Offender Act 2006) who were released having served their full term. 29 of these completed a sexual offending rehabilitation program, and 52 prisoners did not complete a sexual offending rehabilitation program. This includes 23 who refused to take part in the program.


Question: Ms M.M. Quirk: asked Mr J.M. Francis: Only one of us can say this. I must repeat it back so that Hansard gets it down. I agree to provide the member with information on the prison population for the last calendar year, so far in this calendar year, and the modelling for the next five years for the low, medium and high-range projections.

Note that the Department of Corrective Services’ (the Department’s) prisoner population projection model was last updated in June 2013. The Department of Treasury is currently developing a Western Australian Prisoner Model projection model which, on completion, will replace the Department’s prisoner population projection model.


Question: Mr P. Papalia: asked Mr J.M. Francis: I agree to provide to the member for Warnbro supplementary information on how many prisoners were accepted into the prison system on remand in the last calendar year, how many were held on remand for less than six months and how many were held on remand for less than three months.

Mr P. Papalia: Without them subsequently having received a sentence beyond what they already received.

Answer: From 1/01/2014 to 31/12/2014, 4,658 prisoners were received into the Western Australian (WA) prison system on remand (698 female and 3,960 male).

Of these:

• 924 prisoners (131 female and 793 male) were held on remand for less than six months.


• 3,314 prisoners (543 female and 2,771 male) were held on remand for less than three months.

Information provided is based on all prisoners received into WA prisons on remand during the period 1/01/2014 to 31/12/2014. Note that, in some cases, remanded prisoners served a fine default sentence during their stay (i.e. to cut out fines while in prison). Where applicable, days spent serving a fine default only sentences have been included in the remand period duration.

The numbers above reflect the number of individual receptions, rather than distinct people.


Question: Ms L.L. Baker: asked Mr J.M. Francis: Firstly, I agree to provide the member for Maylands the amount the department expended on health services each calendar year for the last five years. However, I will give her this information I have in front of me now.

Division 38: Corruption and Crime Commission —


Question: Mr M.J. Cowper: asked Mrs L.M. Harvey: We will provide by way of supplementary information the proportion of the 6,077 allegations of misconduct and police reviewable actions that were a result of local complaint resolution processes.

Answer: During the 2013-2014 Financial Year, the Corruption and Crime Commission (the Commission) received/assessed 7,260 allegations of misconduct, which includes allegations received pursuant to sections 21A


(reviewable police action), 25 and 28 of the Corruption and Crime Commission Act 2003 (refer p.13 of the Commission Annual Report 2013-2014).

Of those allegations 2,830 relate to WA Police (39%). The 6,077 allegations referred to above were all allegations, received/assessed by the Commission as at 9 May 2014, and did not solely relate to WA Police. The Commission does not capture data concerning Local Complaint Resolution, which is an internal WA Police process.

Question: Mr M.J. Cowper: asked for the number of warrants of execution that have been issued for unpaid court fines for the last 12 months, including those for goods and chattels.

Answer: The warrants of execution being referred to are now called enforcement warrants. This changed when the Fines, Penalties and Infringement Notices Enforcement Act 1994 (WA) was amended in August 2013. The amendments provided the Registrar with the ability to issue enforcement warrants for a debtor with any outstanding court fine and/or aggregated infringements of $2,000 or more. Enforcement warrants authorise the Sheriff to affix a warning notice to any vehicle licensed in the name of the debtor, immobilise any vehicle licensed in the name of the debtor, remove number plates from the any vehicle licensed in the name of the debtor, seize and sell so much of the debtor’s personal property and land as is necessary to recover the amount owed.

• 21,169 people have had a total of 90,360 warrants issued since 1 July 2014 to 12 June 2015;

Answer: Passenger vehicles 4,842

Commercial vehicles 5,865

Total 10,707


Question: Mr W. J. Johnston asked who verbally advised the agency of the transfer of the State Fleet from the former Minister for Finance to the Treasurer?


Answer: The Director General Department of Finance advises me that the former Minister for Finance advised the agency at a meeting on 20 October 2014.


Question: Mr W.J. Johnston: asked were there other costs incurred in moving or accommodating an existing tenant from Hale House?

Answer: The Department of Finance did not incur any other costs in moving or accommodating an existing tenant from within Hale House. It is understood the Department of Education temporarily moved into existing leased premises in Beechboro, before relocating to a government-owned site in Padbury. This move was managed by the Department of Education, and consequently the Department of Finance is not aware of associated costs.

A lease consultant was engaged to procure alternate accommodation for the Office of the Leader of the Opposition (at a cost of $12,698.95 including GST), which occupied a demountable building on the Hale House site. The cost of a new lease for alternate accommodation at 1068-1070 Hay Street, West Perth (including outgoings and GST) is approximately $265,417 per annum.


Question: Mr C.J. Tallentire: asked if the Minister could provide a global figure and evidence around that global figure that savings have been achieved through the planning and procurement of future state government office space as a result of this master planning approach?

Answer: The estimated avoided costs achieved through the improved management of the Minister for Works office accommodation portfolio have exceeded the forecast $20-25 million savings per annum by 2015, and are expected to be almost $28 million per annum in 2015.

This has been achieved through the:

• improved negotiating power by consolidating 23 agencies in 2010-12 into larger leases with lower rental costs and decentralising some agencies from the Perth CBD/CBD fringe;

• relocation of the Department of Commerce to the Mason Bird Building, Cannington, and Gordon Stephenson House, Perth, and reducing the floor space required by the existing agencies within Gordon Stephenson House; and

• introduction of the new Government Office Accommodation policy, which reduces the amount of office space to be used per person.

The avoided costs achieved through office relocations completed between 2009 and 2012 are estimated at $18.1 million per annum. Additionally, net savings of $44.3 million over ten years are estimated to be achieved from the relocation of the Department of Commerce from their previous leased portfolio to the Mason Bird Building, Cannington, and Gordon Stephenson House, Perth. The rationalisation of vacant workspace in Gordon Stephenson House is estimated to provide further avoided cost savings of around $36 million over ten years. Further avoided costs in excess of $1.4 million per annum are expected from approved fit-out and refurbishment works, while the application of the new government office density requirements has delivered additional estimated avoided costs of approximately $580,000 since 2014. [Supplementary Information No A88.]

Question: Mr W.J. Johnston: asked what was the cost of relocating the last two ministerial offices from London House to Dumas House? Answer: As at 16 June 2015, the relocation of the Minister for Agriculture and Food; Fisheries and Minister for Emergency Services; Corrective Services; Small Business; Veterans to Dumas House (inclusive of the costs surrounding the relocation of the Minister for Finance; Mines and Petroleum from Allendale Square to Level 10, Dumas House) totalled $1,968,604 (exclusive of GST). A breakdown of these costs is (all exclusive of GST):

• Capital works costs (at Dumas House) $1,804,689 • Consultancy costs $7,029 • Make good costs $156,886 [Supplementary Information No A89.] Question: Mr C.J. Tallentire: asked what is the annual lease cost for Level 10, London House for the Minister for Finance?

Question: Ms R. Saffioti: asked what is the suggested time frame for when a Bigger Picture sign should be removed after a project is completed?

Question: Mr W.J. Johnston: asked if the Minister could provide a description of the process undertaken by the Department in order to recover unpaid fines and/or any further action taken to penalise those who do not pay a fine issued by the Department?

Answer: The consequence of failure to pay penalties imposed in lieu of forfeiture for breaching mining tenement conditions under the Mining Act 1978 are prescribed. The mining tenement is forfeited. The administration of this function is carried out by the Department’s Legislation and Compliance Branch under the Minister’s delegated authority.

It is the function of the Department of the Attorney General to administer enforcement of penalties imposed by the relevant court of jurisdiction for offences prosecuted against an offence under the relevant mining or petroleum legislation.

Penalties imposed by way of infringement notices for regulatory breaches are enforced under the Fines, Penalties and Infringement Notices Enforcement Act 1994 by the Fines Enforcement Registry. The Department refers outstanding penalties to the Fines Enforcement Registry for enforcement.

In relation to Royalties for Regions funded advertising expenditure on larger Royalties for Regions projects, the Department of Regional Development (DRD) funds a large number of government agencies that actually deliver the projects/programs and services.

As part of these funding arrangements it is not a reporting requirement for agencies to report to DRD with specific figures in relation to advertising expenditure. DRD does require that agencies report against key measures and milestones as agreed under executed Memorandums of Understanding for the transfer of funds.

It would require significant effort by DRD to source the relevant information from each agency responsible for larger funded Royalties for Regions projects. It may be more appropriate for the Member for Warnbro to approach the relevant Minister responsible for implementing the delivery of each individual larger Royalties for Regions funded project/program to obtain this information (for example the Minister for Health regarding funding of Regional Hospitals or the Southern Inland Health Initiative).

[Supplementary Information No B4.] Mr M McGowan: Maybe I can seek by supplementary information the levels of employment-current and future employment on (Ord).

Mr M McGowan: Could I seek by supplementary information the exact number of people employed, including local people and the exact number of Indigenous people as part of that.

Mr D.T Redman: I am happy to provide by way of supplementary information the numbers and the profile of employees currently employed by Kimberley Agricultural Investment Pty Ltd as that applies to the Ord development on Goomig and Knox plain, in which a development agreement is in place with the government

Answer: Kimberley Agricultural Investment Pty Ltd (KAI) advises that it employs 60 people with the following profile breakdown:

• 4 Chinese Nationals

• 56 locals of which 25 are Aboriginal.

[Supplementary Information No B5.] Question: Population figures for Pilbara Cities – Growth Profile

Mr M McGowan: I note further on, the so-called aim of Pilbara Cities is 50 000 residents in Karratha, 50 000 in Port Hedland and 15 000 in Newman. What is the current population of each of those cities? What has been the growth profile over the last few years?

Division 12: Gascoyne Development Commission —


Question:

Mr M McGowan: I refer to 2012. I am after what aged-care facilities the state is funding via the Department of Regional Development or the Gascoyne Development Commission; in what years will they be constructed; how many beds; what is the funding; and how will that be managed?

Answer:

$14 million has been nominally allocated from the Royalties for Regions North West Health Initiative which is under the Department of Regional Development, for a 24 bed facility to be built on the Carnarvon Health Campus site. This will be managed by the WA Country Health Service as a multipurpose service i.e. a mixture of high and low care dependent upon the needs of the residents.

The Gascoyne Development Commission (GDC), Department of Regional Development (DRD), Department of Housing (DoH), Shire of Carnarvon (SoC) and Gascoyne Memorial Foundation (GMF) are advancing a Memorandum of Understanding and a subsequent business case for the construction of up to 15 independent living units (ILUs) on GMF's current ILU site at an estimated cost of $4.5 million: $3.3m has been allocated to the project from the Royalties for Regions Gascoyne Revitalisation Plan with the Department of Regional Development with endorsement by the Gascoyne Advisory Group, and $1.2m has been committed by the Department of Housing.

In addition, the Gascoyne Development Commission is working collaboratively with the Shire of Carnarvon to identify suitable land to enable the development of a prospectus, to secure investment into the construction of an ageing in place facility, with the option of a care component.

Division 13: Goldfields–Esperance Development Commission —


Question: Number of mobile phone towers provided under RMCP and proposed for RTP in the Goldfields- Esperance Development Commission Region

Dr G. G. Jacobs: Under the regional mobile communications program phase, how many telecommunications mobile phone towers will be allocated and constructed in this region? (Goldfields-Esperance Development Commission, particularly south east agricultural region) How much will be spent and what is the exact location of those mobile phone towers?

Mr D.T Redman: By way of supplementary information the number of mobile phone towers provided under RMCP, and that are predicted to be supplied under RMCP2 (RTP) in response to the question from the Member for Eyre on the Goldfields-Esperance Development Commission region.

Answer:

On 15 December 2014, the Western Australian Cabinet approved a Royalties for Regions allocation of $45 million to the Department of Commerce for the Regional Telecommunications Project (RTP). This new funding will build on the success of its predecessor program, the Regional Mobile Communications Project (RMCP) that received $40 million in Royalties for Regions funding. RMCP has established 113 mobile base stations in communities and along key transport corridors in regional, rural and remote parts of the State, extending Telstra’s mobile coverage footprint in Western Australia by 31 per cent. The RTP will address mobile coverage gaps in small communities and at strategic locations, primarily in the southern half of the State. There were 21 sites built under the original RMCP within the Goldfields Esperance Region as listed below:


Shire Site Name

Coolgardie Coolgardie Higginsville Kambalda West Dundas Arubiddy Balladonia Bedonia Caiguna Dundas Shire Site Name Dundas Fraser Range Madura Mundrabilla Price Esperance Munglinup East Leonora Cosmos Nickel Tarmoola Mine Ngaanyatjarraku Blackstone Jameson Wanarn Warakurna Wingellina Ravensthorpe Ravensthorpe Exchange

The first 22 base stations under the RTP were announced on 20 February 2015. There are three sites planned for development within the Goldfields Esperance region under the first tranche of sites. Shire Site Name

Coolgardie Boorabbin Esperance Grass Patch Salmon Gums

The Department of Commerce is working closely with the Goldfields-Esperance Development Commission and other Regional Development Commissions to identify priorities across the state for the next tranche of sites under RTP.

These sites are expected to be co-funded by the Commonwealth Government under its $100 million Mobile Black Spot Program (MBSP). Applications to the MBSP closed on16 April 2015 and the outcome is expected to be announced at the end of June 2015.


Any funds that remain after the State’s co-contributions to the MBSP have been finalised will be used to establish additional sites. Additional sites will be announced once agreements with one or more mobile network operators are concluded.

Division 51: Treasury — Item 75, WA Land Authority; and Item 86, Royalties for Regions —

[Supplementary Information No B10.] Dr G.G. Jacobs: My question refers to page 579 and is about the Western Australian Land Authority investing in the regions. The mission statement of LandCorp talks about creating space for growth. Many people I talk to have the view that it does not create enough space in a timely manner. Can the minister tell us what LandCorp has done in the regions in the industrial and residential land space? What projects can we point to that really show the work in the regions to truly create space for growth?

Dr G.G. Jacobs: The minister was talking about projects that have been carried out in certain regions, and I am asking what has been done in my region. I am happy for the minister to take that question on notice.

Answer:

Across regional Western Australia, during the 2013-14 reporting period, LandCorp delivered land for an additional 760 dwelling unit equivalents. In addition, LandCorp’s Economic Employment and Lands Program also delivered 44 general industrial lots across the State.

LandCorp currently has 1,134 residential, light industrial, tourism and commercial lots with a further 83 general industrial lots available for sale across regional Western Australia.

LandCorp is also working closely with other Government agencies, Local Government and industry to de-constrain land in most regional centres so it can be brought to market to meet current and future demand.

Within the local member’s region of Goldfields-Esperance, LandCorp has a stock of 131 lots available for sale in 11 towns within the region – 120 residential, light industrial tourism or commercial lots and 11 general industrial lots.

An example of a town where LandCorp has undertaken land development was Hopetoun with the Mary Ann Waters Estate which was established to accommodate the anticipated growth from the then BHP Nickel Mine. There are currently eight lots available for sale and 40 lots with approvals that can be released when demand returns.

In regards to the future development pipeline, LandCorp has been very active in developing land for social and economic growth, improving the liveability of regional towns in and around the local member’s electorate of Eyre. In partnership with the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder, the Hannan’s Outline Development Plan has been completed which provides planning direction for an area totalling 324 hectares in Kalgoorlie’s North West Sector and is capable of delivering up to 2,000 residential lots.

Kalgoorlie’s future long term industrial land supply is also secured with ongoing works to de-constrain a 187 hectare parcel opposite the Anzac Drive industrial estate with the potential yield of up to 160 additional industrial lots. Additionally, LandCorp manages on behalf of the State, the Mungari Strategic Industrial Area between Kalgoorlie and Coolgardie which is available for larger or heavy industrial uses.


LandCorp has worked with the Goldfields Esperance Development Commission and the Shire of Esperance on the Esperance SuperTowns initiative and contributed to the Esperance Growth Plan. As an active participant in Esperance Town Centre Revitalisation Implementation project, LandCorp has contributed to the Esperance Middletown redevelopment options analysis; provided an evaluation of the Shires’ Flinders residential state and is progressing the business case for the development of residential lots in Sinclair to meet a specific price point for key worker accommodation.

In addition to these activities, LandCorp manages the local Regional Development Assistance Program (RDAP) to deliver residential, commercial and industrial lots across regional Western Australia where private developers are not active. The initiative is aimed at helping towns which have identified a need for land to support economic and social growth, but struggle to attract sufficient interest from private developers. Local Governments can apply for inclusion in the local RDAP.

Through the local RDAP, LandCorp has produced 75 light industrial and 139 residential lots in 23 towns over the past four years, across the Mid-West, Wheatbelt, South West and Great Southern regions. LandCorp also has a further 237 lots under investigation or ready to proceed into development in another 26 towns, if demand for land can be demonstrated.

In some cases for example such as Menzies, LandCorp has provided development options for the Shire of Menzies to respond quickly, if mining of the Yilgarn iron ore deposits was to proceed in the near future.

Division 32: Western Australia Police —

[Supplementary Information No. B11.] Question: Mrs M.H. Roberts asked: Referring to ‘Spending Changes’ on page 363, provide a breakdown of how WA Police is achieving the following:

• 1% General Government Efficiency Dividend

• 15% Procurement Savings

• ICT Savings and Reform

Answer: WA Police has established a comprehensive reform program, ‘Frontline 2020’, to review all services, structure, production and business processes across the agency. This involves examining the efficiency, priority and value for money of all activities carried out, in order to increase the agency’s capacity to manage expenditure within approved budget parameters and maintain the delivery of core frontline outcomes.

These reductions in the WA Police budget have been addressed holistically through:

• staff reductions;

• renegotiation of service contracts; and

• changes to service delivery to internal stakeholders.

Division 33: Training and Workforce Development —

[Supplementary Information No B24.] Question: Mr F.M. Logan asked for a list of the funding that each State Training Provider and private providers receive from the State Government in 2015-16. Answer: Training delivery targets and funding levels have not yet been determined for 2016, consequently only notional allocations can be provided at this point.

The notional budget allocations for 2015-16 are: ($ million)

Question: Mr F.M. Logan asked for a list of the number of redundancies that have already been funded out of the 2014-15 budget and the number of redundancies that have been identified for the 2015-16 budget period.

Answer: 2014-15: 240

2015-16: 0

Insurance Commission of Western Australia —


Question: Mr F.M. Logan asked: By way of supplementary information, could we have the exact number of claims underway in the industrial diseases division of ICWA and the exact increase in the number of extra claims that have occurred over the 2014-15 financial year; and can the Treasurer tell us whether the changes that were made recently – about a year or two ago – to the industrial diseases definition that included diffuse pleural fibrosis, which was debated in the house about how far it would go, have resulted in an increase in the number of claims accepted?

Answer: The number of claims underway (open claims) for the Compensation (Industrial Diseases) Fund is 10 (as at 12 June 2015). The number of new claims received in 2014-15 is seven which is an increase of three over the number received in 2013-14, which was four. The change to include Diffuse Pleural Fibrosis (DPF) occurred in 2011. Since that time, no claims have been received where DPF is the primary condition leading to the claim.

Synergy —


Question: Mr F.M. Logan asked if the Minister, in terms of the spot price purchases Synergy entered into, what was the best gas price Synergy got this year per terajoule – just on the spot price purchases?

Answer: There is no clear market indicator for spot gas prices and market research suggests volumes traded have been very small. As a guideline the attached Gas Trading Australia website provides some insight as to the historical prices and volumes of gas sold in the spot market.

http://www.gastrading.com.au/spot-market/historical-prices-and-volume.html

Horizon Power —


Question: Mr W.J. Johnston asked for the number of times in the Pilbara underground power process in Karratha the contractor or Horizon has disrupted or cut a Telstra connection? Does Horizon know how much it costs to make good the damage? Has any compensation been paid by Horizon to businesses because of disruption to phones?

Answer: The project has disrupted Telstra lines on eight occasions since the recommencement of phase two in November 2014. Two of these incidents were unavoidable as the disturbed lines were not visible on the Dial Before You Dig (DBYD) reference maps. On the six occasions where the lines were on DBYD, the contractor is responsible for all costs associated with fixing disrupted lines, therefore these costs are not borne by the Pilbara


Underground Power Project. This includes any compensation to the customer for damages experienced due to the outage.

In the first phase of the project, Telstra lines were impacted on 29 occasions from 12 November 2011 to 28 May 2013. As discussed, these disruptions were the responsibility of the contractor, including all associated costs.

On each occasion in both phase 1 and phase 2 Horizon Power liaised directly with Telstra.


Question: Mr W.J. Johnston asked: How many bills for small businesses have been varied in Karratha and what was the total quantum of the difference between those bills? I am not after the individual ones but the aggregate figure. Answer: This information is owned by the City of Karratha who issued the rates notices associated with the Pilbara Underground Power Project to property owners in Karratha. Horizon Power has requested this information and will provide as soon as it is received. [Supplementary Information No B30.] Question: Mr B.S. Wyatt asked for an explanation of the amount of savings in the energy subsidy scheme from means testing in Aboriginal communities. Answer: The below table shows that the impact of means testing on Aboriginal Communities yields limited savings for Horizon Power suggesting that existing recipients in these towns will be largely unaffected by changes to the scheme.

[Supplementary Information No B31.] Question: Mr W.J. Johnston asked: What Aboriginal communities does Horizon Power have funding to regularise the power? Answer: Horizon Power has no funding to regularise power in any additional Aboriginal communities.

Division 51: Treasury (Except Item 86: Royalties for Regions) —

[Supplementary Information No B32.] Question: Ms R. Saffioti asked whether the Treasurer could provide a breakdown of the $1.2 billion for the new Perth Stadium, including exactly what it represents, whether it is all capital, whether part of it is financing and over what years. Answer: The total value of the design-build-finance-maintain (DBFM) contract with WESTADIUM is $1,212 million (Net Present Cost (NPC) – in 2014 dollars),which includes the cost to design, build, partially finance and maintain the Stadium and Sports Precinct (and some transport elements) over 25 years. This will be funded by a combination of State, user and hirer contributions. The WESTADIUM contract is delivering outstanding value for money over its 28-year life against the State’s benchmark Public Sector Comparator of $1,536 million. This represents a saving of $324 million (21%). The total NPC value of the WESTADIUM contract and the Public Sector Comparator are included in the Project Summary for the DBFM contract, which is available on the Department of Treasury website at http://www.treasury.wa.gov.au/cms/content.aspx?id=14210. The following section provides a break-down of the costs of the three components that make up the new Perth Stadium project. COMPONENT 1: STADIUM AND SPORTS PRECINCT Asset Value The asset value of the Stadium and its surrounding Sports Precinct totals $1,062.9 million, and comprises:

• $489.5 million for payments to WESTADIUM during the construction phase, for all of the construction works, plus the cost of some transport elements delivered under the DBFM contract, being:

‒ the stadium bus station; and ‒ public transport assembly areas;


• $422.8 million for ongoing payments to WESTADIUM during the 25-year operating phase; and • $150.6 million for other costs not related to the WESTADIUM contract: pre-construction site works;

‒ the utilities works; ‒ the project management costs for the State project team; and ‒ a range of other costs (such as State advisors, loose furniture, some technology to be arranged

by the State).

The asset value is reflected in page 787 of Budget Paper No.2 (BP2) in the Statement of Financial Position of VenuesWest as an increase in non-current assets in 2017-18 (property, plant and equipment).

Construction Phase Payments

The payments to WESTADIUM during the construction phase total $489.5 million (or the State’s capital contribution), and are accounted for as a finance lease pre-payment.

The State’s capital contribution is reflected in BP2 as follows:

Agency Location in BP2

2015-16 Budget Estimate $’000

2016-17 Forward Estimate $’000


Total

Sport and Recreation Page 778 ‘Other payments – new Perth Stadium’ 209,100 224,600 42,400 476,100

Public Transport Authority Page 837 ‘Other payments’ 5,600 6,000 1,800 13,400

Grand total 489,500

Ongoing Payments – Capital Costs

In terms of ongoing payments during the 25-year operating phase, WESTADIUM will be paid capital costs and associated funding costs of $422.8 million – paid as monthly service payments, commencing in 2017-18 when the facility becomes operational. The monthly service payments are reflected in the 2015-16 BP2 as follows:

2015-16 Budget Estimate $’000



Total

VenuesWest Page 787 ‘Borrowings’ - - 422,831 422,831

Grand total 422,831

Although the total value of $422.8 million will be paid progressively over the 25-year operating phase, in accordance with the relevant accounting standard (AASB 117), the total lease liability is recognised up-front at the completion of the Stadium and Sports Precinct (scheduled to be in December 2017).

Additional Costs

The following table shows the additional costs that are not related to the contract with WESTADIUM and includes the costs of the pre-construction site works, the utilities works, and a range of other costs (such as State advisors, loose furniture, some technology to be arranged by the State), plus the project management costs for the State project team.

Total 150,640

COMPONENT 2: TRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURE

The total cost of the transport infrastructure associated with the new Perth Stadium is $336.2 million, which includes:

• a new Stadium station and associated rail works to accommodate a six railcar platform (which replaces Belmont station);

• the Swan River pedestrian bridge; and

• a range of road modifications.

The transport infrastructure investment is reflected in BP2 (page 833) as part of the Public Transport Authority’s Works in Progress (new Perth Stadium Transport Project). This includes the $7.6 million of transport infrastructure delivered under the pre-construction site works as part of Component 1 above, but excludes $22.4 million for the bus-hub and pedestrian assembly areas delivered by WESTADIUM.

Accordingly, the total asset value for all new Perth Stadium-related infrastructure is $1,391.7 million, comprising $1,062.9 million (Component 1) plus $336.2 million (Component 2), less $7.6 million to avoid double-counting.

COMPONENT 3: MAINTENANCE PAYMENTS

There will be a range of payments made to WESTADIUM to cover the cost of maintenance, lifecycle replacements, services (such as security and waste management) and associated funding costs. It is intended for these costs to be met from revenue collected from Stadium hirers and users. These revenues and costs are not included in the budget estimates, as the State is currently negotiating with key users and undertaking a procurement process to appoint an operator. Once these processes have been concluded and final recurrent costs and revenue are known, VenuesWest’s operating budget will be adjusted accordingly, if necessary.


Question: Ms R. Saffioti asked whether the Treasurer could provide the profile of the $268 million in land asset sales revenue in the forward estimates.

Answer: CASHFLOW PROFILE

Total Additional Land Sales Revenue 11,085 93,700 81,500 81,500 267,785

(a) Existing estimates for Crown land sales proceeds of $181.9 million are recorded in the DoL Administered Land Sales Revenue forward estimates.

(b) $296.8 million from new land sales will be drawn from land holdings of other agencies, where the land is mostly freehold tenure. In most instances, legislative provisions will require these proceeds to be returned to each agency with the agency either to provide a return to the Consolidated Account, or having its appropriation reduced accordingly.

(c) Main Roads’ Budget includes $29 million in land sales proceeds for the years 2015-16 to 2016-17. As Main Roads assets comprise about 33% of the LASP Stage 2 (350 properties), an adjustment of $29 million has been made to avoid double-counting.

DIVESTMENT FUNDING FOR PREPARING LAND FOR SALE An amount of $17.3 million over four years ($8.3 million in 2015-16, $8.3 million in 2016-17, $0.3 million in 2017-18 and $0.3 million in 2018-19) was approved in the 2015-16 Budget for the creation of a Divestment Fund and its ongoing management. This represents the cost of de-constraining land identified under Stage 1 of the Land Assets Sale Program (LASP). Land Assets LASP Stage 1: Top 20 Properties Stage 1 of the DoL’s LASP comprises 20 parcels of land and is expected to realise $275 million in revenue over the forward estimates – noting that some of these sales have already been recorded in the existing DoL Administered budget. The estimates of sales revenue for Stage 1 are based on the actual sites being considered for sale over the remainder of 2014-15 and from 2015-16 to 2018-19. The estimated proceeds are based on either valuations from the Valuer General’s Office (VGO), or by private valuers, and potential de-constraining costs have a reasonable degree of certainty. Those properties expected to be sold during this period include:

• Lot 500 Wanneroo and Kaleeya Hospital (already sold for $20.9 million combined); and • Claremont Oval, Yirra Yaakin Theatre, the Potato Marketing Corporation Headquarters, Lots 420/421

Mandurah Road, the Fremantle Police Station, the Deaf School (Cottesloe), Swan Districts Hospital Site and the Department of Agriculture and Food site (Forrestfield).

The list below contains the comprehensive list of 20 properties that make up Stage 1. LAND ASSET SALES PROGRAM - STAGE 1 PROPERTIES

1. Claremont Oval; 2. Department of Agriculture and Food (DAFWA) Forrestfield Site; 3. DAFWA Medina; 4. Deaf School, Cottesloe; 5. Kaleeya Hospital, East Fremantle; 6. Public Transport Authority (PTA) Lots 420 and 421, Rockingham; 7. PTA Area C, Forrestfield; 8. Shenton Park Hospital; 9. Wanneroo Lot 500; 10. Fremantle Police Station;


11. Industrial Foundation for Accident Prevention Site, North Lake; 12. Old Perth Girls School, East Perth; 13. Potato Marketing Corporation HQ, North Coogee; 14. Swan Districts Hospital, Middle Swan; 15. Yirra Yaakin Theatre, Perth; 16. DAFWA HQ, Kensington; 17. Police HQ, East Perth; 18. Princess Margaret Hospital, Subiaco; 19. East Perth Power Station; and 20. Woodside Maternity Hospital, East Fremantle.

LASP Stage 2: 350 Properties

The LASP Stage 2 properties are expected to realise proceeds of $123.7 million over the period to 2017-18.

The 350 properties have been identified primarily due to their vacant status according to the Government Property register. To obtain estimates of possible realisable proceeds from sale, Colliers International conducted a desktop valuation on each property. This process also incorporated assessments of the average cost of de-constraining the land needed to realise the property’s deemed value.

LASP Stage 3

The LASP Stage 3 has used a similar technique to estimate the likely net proceeds for properties as that for Stage 2 properties. Estimates from Stage 3 are for $80 million in sales from 2016-17 to 2018-19.


Question: Mr W.J. Johnston asked whether the Treasurer could provide the estimates of the expected reduction or change over the forward estimates in energy assistance payments from Horizon Power to Aboriginal townships.

Answer: Based on advice from Horizon Power, the impact on Aboriginal remote communities from means-testing the Energy Assistance Payment (EAP) from 2015-16 is projected to be minor.

As outlined in the below table, the estimated reduction in the EAP subsidy relating to Aboriginal communities is $1,883 in 2015-16 and $7,897 across the forward estimates period. This compares to an estimated total EAP subsidy reduction for all of Horizon Power’s eligible customers of nearly $1.4 million over this same period.

Horizon Power 2015-16 2016-17 2017-18 2018-19 Total

Impact on Aboriginal communities ($) -$1,883 -$1,902 -$2,003 -$2,109 -$7,897

Impact on operating subsidy ($’000) -$313 -$330 -$347 -$366 -$1,356


Question: Ms R. Saffioti asked whether the Treasurer could provide the explanation of what contributed to the change in those numbers under the Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority (as per table 8 of Budget Paper No. 3)?

Answer: As advised by the Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority, the proceeds from the sale of non-financial assets for the years 2015, 2016 and 2017 (shown in table 8 on page 63 of Budget Paper No.3) update the previously published forward estimates for the revised timing of proceeds from the sale of land in the Midland Redevelopment Area. At the time of the 2014-15 Mid-year Review, this sale was forecast to settle in 2017. However, the sale has now been brought forward and proceeds are forecast in 2015 and 2016. The proceeds from sale of non-financial assets for the 2018 year represent the proceeds from the sale of commercial property in the New Northbridge project area.

[Supplementary Information No B38.] Question: Ms M.M. Quirk requested, with reference to the full time equivalent engaged in suppressing bushfires that threaten or occur on lands managed by the Department as shown on page 647, a breakdown by category (seasonal, casual, full-time, part-time), average age and length of service.

Answer: This answer is provided for the December 2014 quarter, to illustrate the number of seasonal employees involved.

FTE

Category

Seasonal 72

Casual 5

Full-time 305

Part-time 2

Total 384

The average age of these employees is 44 years, and the average length of service is 12 years.

Note that the above count of employees is different to the FTE shown for Service 7 Bushfire Suppression at page 647 of the 2015-16 Budget Paper No. 2. The employees work on other services when not engaged on bushfire suppression.


Question: Mr C.J. Tallentire requested statistics on the rate of non-compliance for 2014-15, in relation to Outcomes and Key Effectiveness Indicators on page 644.

Answer: The percentage of non-compliance for 2014-15 is currently 15.4 per cent, based on the 345 actions audited to date.

Division 56: Environment Regulation —


Question: Mr C.J. Tallentire asked the Minister to provide, for the current financial year, information on the offset moneys that have flowed in and out through the Department of Environment Regulation.


Answer: Between 1 July 2014 and 15 June 2015, a total of $3,840,091 was received by the Department of Environment Regulation through native vegetation clearing permit conditions requiring financial contributions to offset environmental impacts associated with clearing. No money has been dispersed from the offset account during this period, as the transfer of lands has not been completed.

Division 57: Botanic Gardens and Parks Authority —


Question: Mr C.J. Tallentire and Ms S.F. McGurk asked that the Minister provide the relevant clauses under which the contract was awarded for the new botanic terraces and community pavilion.

Answer: The Botanic Terraces and Community Pavilion commission was awarded to Plan E for $141,750 (excl. GST) under an existing Botanic Gardens and Parks Authority contract with Plan E: BGPA20112009 Landscape Architect Services.

The relevant clauses of the State Supply Commission Act 1991 under which the contract was awarded are: S17(1), S19(1), S19(2) and S21(1).


Question: Mr C.J. Tallentire asked that the Minister provide clarification/breakdown of the full-time equivalent numbers, and in particular, how many privatised jobs or contractors are funded by Rio Tinto.

Answer: Administrative staff 37 Retail staff 7 Outdoor staff 77 Science staff 14 Total 135

There are no “privatised jobs or contractors funded by Rio Tinto” however, Rio Tinto provides funding that supports Naturescape Activity Officers, Horticultural staff (including trainees), and Education Officers. The headcount varies on seasonal basis but the funding is sufficient to support approximately 4 FTEs over any 12 month period. Furthermore, as a result of the funding support from Rio Tinto, these BGPA employees are able to further utilise the assistance from as many as 40 regular Naturescape volunteers.

Division 58: Office of the Environmental Protection Authority —

[Supplementary Information No B43.] Question: Mr C.J. Tallentire asked for the cumulative total of money that could potentially flow into the Pilbara Strategic Offset Fund.

Answer: At this time no Pilbara conservation offset fund has been established.

Conditions have been placed on 15 projects requiring contributions to a government-established conservation offset fund or an alternative offset arrangement providing an equivalent outcome. These conditions are publicly available on the Environmental Protection Authority's website.

The contributions required for each project are dependent on a number of factors including the amount of vegetation cleared, the condition of the native vegetation cleared and location of the vegetation within the region. The contributions are generally only required to be paid when clearing occurs.

A government-industry working group is currently evaluating options for establishment of a Pilbara conservation offset fund and will make recommendations to the Minister for Environment in September this year. A decision will then be made by the Minister on the type and governance arrangements for the fund.

As the projects are in various stages of development, it is not possible to provide an accurate estimate of money that could be contributed to an offset fund.

Division 60: Heritage Council of Western Australia —

[Supplementary Information No B44.] Question: Ms M.M. Quirk asked if the Minister could provide the number of applicants that were unsuccessful in obtaining the maximum level of heritage grant, referred to in Grants and Subsidies on page 692.


Answer: Nine

Division 68: Water —

[Supplementary Information No B45.] Question: Mr D.J. Kelly: Were any performance issues raised about the former director general during the time she was under the current minister, and were there any issues between the director general and members of the minister’s staff that adversely impacted upon the role or the performance of the role?

Answer: The Director General needed to take a period of extended personal leave. It was agreed, due to the number of major initiatives to be delivered by the Department of Water, the Director General would leave the position to enable this work to proceed.

[Supplementary Information No B46.] Question: Mr C.J. Tallentire: Clearly, there is a big difference between the thorough way the Department of Agriculture and Food did the Le Grange project extending over five years, with lots of extensive analysis. This project has had lots of media attention around it and is royalties for regions–badged, but the preliminary work has not been done. Yet, as I understand it, $3 million has been spent this financial year on Mowanjum but the Department of Water has not done the base work as did the Department of Agriculture for Le Grange. Is that the case?

Mr V.A. Catania: As I said, I encourage the member to go and have a look. At the end of the day, it is a trial. The importance of having a trial to allow for diversification in the pastoral industry is extremely important. We are happy to perhaps get back to the member with supplementary information on soil testing and other investigations.

I believe the member has asked for what soil testing has occurred; economic viability testing reports of irrigated agriculture at Mowanjum.

Answer: Mowanjum Aboriginal Corporation completed an initial soil assessment as part of its station development planning process which identified the irrigation site. Further soil testing and analysis is being undertaken as part of the irrigation trial. Mowanjum commissioned a business plan in May 2014 that showed the economic viability of irrigated agriculture at Mowanjum. This information was used by the State Government in support of the decision to proceed with the trial.

The Department of Water has drilled six monitoring bores and two production bores and undertaken detailed hydrogeological testing (pump testing and monitoring). The Mowanjum Aboriginal Corporation has undertaken the land development phase of the trial (including clearing, fencing and road construction) and is currently installing the irrigation infrastructure.


Question: Mr C.J. Tallentire: Have people connected to the Mangkajarra Wetlands been contacted for their input regarding the Mowanjum project?

Answer: The Department of Water has consulted widely regarding the implementation of the Mowanjum Irrigation trial. It consulted with the Nykina Mangala and Warrwa Native Title groups, the Shire of Derby West Kimberley and regional stakeholders. Consultation on the Mangkajarra Wetland has been with the Shire of Derby West Kimberly, which has management responsibility for the area.

The Department of Water has carried out a detailed hydrogeological assessment of the area for the Mowanjum project. This included monitoring and pump testing existing bores and the installation of six further monitoring bores and two production bores. The Department also used other available information in its assessment. This included the Mangkajarra Wetland Management Plan prepared by the Centre of Excellence in Natural Resource Management at the University of Western Australia. The hydrogeological assessment indicated no impact on the Mangkajarra Wetland.


Question: Mr D.J. Kelly: We want an explanation about why it is costing more money to house staff in Karratha but yet it is still considered to be the best value for money.

Answer: The leased accommodation at The Quarter in Karratha provides the best value for Government. While four of the ten government agencies relocating will pay more for office accommodation (including the


Department of Water), the savings for the remaining six agencies exceeds this by over $300 000 in each financial year from 2016/17 onwards.

The “best value for money” needs to be considered across all the agencies to be relocated to The Quarter rather than individual agencies.

Notes

Data are provided for public schools as published in Schools Online based on those with 20 or more full-time eligible students in Year 12. Excludes Canning and Tuart Colleges.

Data for both 2014 and 2013 are provided, as 2014 was the half cohort, which may limit a school being included with 20 or more students and may not be ‘typical’.

The Department of Education does not have comparative data with public schools in other States and Territories.

ATAR proportion of student population

In Western Australia, there are multiple means by which students can apply to university. The Tertiary Institutions Service Centre (TISC) processes the applications from students following the Australian Tertiary Admission Rank (ATAR) pathway.

Western Australian universities have a range of pathways and intake processes, only one of which is using a student’s ATAR, so the statistics regarding applications from students with an ATAR are a fraction of the total applications received for university entry. Such alternative pathways are through gaining a Vocational Education and Training (VET) Certificate IV or Diploma; portfolio pathways (based on grades achieved and level of courses studied); or university preparation bridging or enabling courses, which can be accessed by direct application.

Context for the data provided by Professor Andrew Taggart

• Up to and including 2014, Western Australia was the only state/territory in which Year 12 students were required to remain at school until the end of Year 12, apart from those students engaged in approved alternatives. In the other states/territories with a leaving age during Year 12, the students are permitted to leave on or after their birthday. This reduces the Year 12 student population in every other state/territory being considered.

• Applicants for private, interstate and overseas universities are also not included in the ATAR TISC applicant measure.



Question: Dr A.D. Buti asked if the Minister could provide the number of students for whom schools have sought an official review, and the names of the schools. Answer: The table below lists the name of each school and the number of students for which an appeal of the individual disability funding level allocated for an eligible student has been lodged, as at 11 June 2015.

Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority —


Question:

Mr K. Kinsella: We will provide a basic floor plan that shows the square metreage for each of those areas, the length and width of the promenade sizes, the space that the stairs take and the boardwalk to give the member a clear understanding of how large they are.

Answer:

Based on design software for the construction of Elizabeth Quay, the public realm is approximately 21,000m2

(please refer to the attached map). This comprises:

• The Landing – 5,583m2

• William Street Landing – 991m2

• Western Promenade – 4,107m2

• Eastern Promenade – 4,418m2

• Station Park – 5,577m2

• Landing timber decking – 506m2

Note: these figures exclude the land for the food and beverage outlets.

The above sites can accommodate approximately 10,000 people for events.

The MRA also has the ability to close Geoffrey Bolton Avenue and other roads within the precinct to accommodate crowds for major events such as the annual Skyworks show. This provides another 6,500m2 of public space, will which increase the crowd capacity to approximately 16,000 people.

For more information please refer to the brochure titled Elizabeth Quay Event Venues available on MRA’s website www.mra.wa.gov.au.




Question: Mr B.S. Wyatt asked: Could the Minister for Planning provide a breakdown of what is driving the figures on page 63 of the Economic and Fiscal Outlook, table 8, “Net Debt of the Total Public Sector at 30 June” under the heading “Less proceeds from sale of non-financial assets”, for the MRA of $1 million for 2015, $7.6 million for 2016, negative $9.1 million for 2017 and $5.6 million for 2018.

Answer: The proceeds from the sale of non-financial assets for the years 2015, 2016 and 2017 shown in the table reflect the new timing of the sale of land in the Midland Redevelopment Area. At the time the 2014/15 Mid-year Review was prepared, this sale was forecast to settle in 2017. The sale has now been brought forward and proceeds are forecast in 2015 and 2016.The proceeds from the sale of non-financial assets for the 2018 year represent the expected proceeds from the sale of commercial property in the MRA’s New Northbridge precinct.


Question: Mr J.H.D. Day: We will provide information about the expected return to the Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority from Lend Lease over the life of the project as we understand it at the moment, subject to any commercial considerations that need to be taken into account.

Mr B.S. Wyatt asked: Can I follow up on that. This answer may need to be also supplied as supplementary information, but while we are on the topic, is the yield arrangement with Lend Lease done on the total project or is it done on an arrangement per apartment?

Mr J.H.D. Day: We will clarify that in the same supplementary information.

Answer:

• The agreement between the MRA and Lend Lease for the delivery of Waterbank precinct provides for both parties to contribute to the upfront cost of infrastructure and public domain works and to share revenue from the sale of private development sites.

• The contract executed between the MRA and Lend Lease in February 2013 stipulates the agreed proportion of revenue and costs, but it remains subject to all relevant conditions precedent being met.

• Lend Lease’s Waterbank Master Plan provides for nine buildings, which in accordance with the Waterbank Design Guidelines allows for between 6600m2 and 30,000 m2 of commercial space and between 650 and 1000 residential dwellings.

Answer: The value of full-time equivalents working on digital preservation within the Culture and the Arts portfolio is estimated at 3.9fte. It is difficult to arrive at an exact total as the staff involved in digital preservation also undertake other duties. An additional 3.0fte are currently working within the WA Museum to develop a Collection Management System that will store digital records of the Museum collection.

Division 34: Mental Health Commission —


Question: Dr A.D. Buti asked: I refer to “National Perinatal Depression Initiative” on page 394 of the budget papers. I note that there has been quite a substantial reduction in federal government funding from 2014–15 to 2015–16. As a result of that reduction, what initiatives will be affected by the reduction in funding?

Answer: The Commonwealth has not committed to further National Perinatal Depression Initiative (NPDI) funding beyond 30 June 2015, pending the outcome of the National Mental Health Commission Review of national mental health programs.

Negotiations with the Commonwealth are currently underway.

The Mental Health Commission is currently awaiting a response from the Commonwealth indicating acceptance of the second progress report for NPDI for 2014/15 and an estimate of when the second half of 2014/15 funds will be provided – approximately $504,000. These funds are expected to be received late in the financial year, and therefore expenditure of the funds in 2014/15 will be unachievable. The Government has approved expenditure of these unspent funds in 2015/16.

Funds from the final 2014/15 NPDI payment will support six month extensions to services initiated under the original 2008/09-2012/13 NPDI agreement and to support strategic initiatives. These activities are listed in attachments 1 and 2. A decision from the Commonwealth to discontinue support for NPDI will see funding for these initiatives cease on 31 December 2015.

Question: Mr R.H. Cook referred to Mental Health Infrastructure, page 395 of the budget papers and asked –

“It would be interesting to see the trajectory of funds that have been withdrawn from the redevelopment of Osborne Park Hospital and Graylands Hospital for mental health beds from 2009–10.”

Answer: There has been no withdrawal of funding for mental health beds. There has been a reallocation of infrastructure funding for the Osborne Park (general health and mental health) and Graylands Hospitals within the capital works program.

The following table indicates the estimated total cost of the projects proposed as published in each year’s Budget Paper 2. As Graylands reconfiguration is currently in the planning stage, funds for development have not been considered by the Government.

[Supplementary Information No B68.] Question: Dr A.D. Buti referred to Mental Health Infrastructure, page 395 of the budget papers and asked –

“The supplementary information I seek is in three parts: has the number of sexual assaults at Graylands increased since the closure of the Dorrington ward, what is the number of sexual assaults reported this financial year; and what is the number of sexual assaults reported for the two preceding financial years?”

Answer: The table below shows reports of alleged sexual assault received by the Office of the Chief

Psychiatrist.

Notes:

Ministerial Statement to the Parliament on Wednesday 25 March 2015 where I advised the Council of changes to the reporting of serious clinical incidents in mental health to the Chief Psychiatrist in advance of the enactment of the Mental Health Act 2014.

The Minister advised the House that since this new process commenced in February 2015, there has been a significant increase in accuracy of reporting to the Chief Psychiatrist. This increased reporting does not reflect an increase in incidents, but demonstrates a more effective system to capture accurate data on serious clinical incidents in the public mental health sector. More accurate reporting means that public mental health services will better track and consequently reduce risk in the system- this will ultimately make the journey of the patient a safer one.

In the 2014-15 financial year (FY), the Chief Psychiatrist’s monitoring process changed from a dual reporting system to a single entry electronic reporting system, which has increased reporting compliance.

The improved reporting process resulted in up to a 10-fold increase in notifications of clinical incidents in the 2014-15 FY, compared with the previous 2013-14 FY.

It is likely that a significant component of the increased reporting compliance in the 2014-15 FY accounts for the increased number of allegations of sexual assault reported to the Chief Psychiatrist.

Ongoing monitoring will give a clearer picture of trends in sexual assault allegations.

Current data reporting processes do not differentiate substantiated sexual assault from total allegations.


Question: Mr R.H. Cook asked if he could be provided with the number of people who attend the cannabis intervention sessions (a) and information about the evaluation of what they say about the effectiveness of those sessions (b).

Answer:

a) The number of people who attended a Cannabis Intervention Session (CIS) from August 1st 2011 to May 31st 2015.

The Service Information Management System (SIMS) treatment database held by the Drug and Alcohol Office indicates that from proclamation of the Cannabis Intervention Requirement (CIR) Scheme on August 1st 2011 through to May 31st 2015 there have been 4776 CIS attendances state-wide1.

b) Evaluation of CIS - Voluntary Feedback Surveys

CIS participants are provided with the opportunity to complete a voluntary CIS feedback evaluation survey at the close of their CIS.

From August 1st 2011 to May 31st 2015, of all CIS participants who attended a CIS, 3147 participants (approximately 66%) completed evaluation forms. Evaluation results for the 3147 participants indicated:

• The majority (92%) indicated that they were satisfied with the booking system, booking times and treatment locations available.

• Most participants who completed the evaluation indicated attendance at the CIS led to increased knowledge about health (87.2%), social (82.2%), and legal (90.6%) issues associated with cannabis use, and the treatment options available (90.3%).

• Overall, 84.2% of those who completed the evaluation forms found the session mostly or very useful, and 53.8% of those who completed the survey indicated they may consider seeking further assistance for their cannabis use.

• When asked about changes to their use, 82.7% thought about reducing their use, and 73.4% had thought about abstaining from cannabis use following their CIS.

Division 35: Disability Services Commission —



Question: Mr D.J. Kelly asked: Exactly how many people are currently within the catchment of the eligibility criteria for [the Disability Justice Centre].

Answer: Eight mentally impaired accused appear to meet the eligibility criteria for the Disability Justice Centre, with one more pending a Disability Services Commission assessment

There are a further two individuals who are not currently under any form of Custody or Community Order but who regularly interface with the justice system and would likely be within the catchment of the eligibility criteria for the Disability Justice Centre.

In addition to the above, there is an indeterminate number of individuals who enter the judicial system who, if appropriately identified and assessed would also fall within the catchment of the eligibility criteria for the Disability Justice centre. This is an area of focus for the Disability Justice Service going forward now that an appropriate facility and supports are available

Division 36: Child Protection and Family Support —

[Supplementary Information No B71.] Question: Mr D.J. Kelly asked the department’s understanding of the number of clients who, in the last 12 months, accessed financial counselling that have been defunded?

Answer: From 1 January – 31 December 2014, a total of 22,608 clients accessed a financial counselling service in Western Australia. Of these clients, 11,259 accessed a financial counselling service in the metropolitan area.

It is expected these and new clients will continue to access services in one of the following ways:

• Continued state funded financial counselling services in the non-metropolitan area;

• Continued existing metropolitan financial counselling services until 30 September 2015;

• The new metropolitan wide service available after 30 September 2015;

• The eighteen Commonwealth funded services across Perth including Lifeline, Centrecare, St Vincent de Paul, Midland Information Debt and Legal Advocacy Service;

• There are also seven metropolitan financial counselling services, which are Commonwealth funded specifically for people on Centrelink income management;

• No interest loans are available for families and individuals on low incomes;

• Centrelink income support enables for the purchase of essential household goods and services;

• The State Government’s Hardship Utility Grant Scheme funding which can be accessed by directly contacting the relevant utility; and

• Financial counselling services funded and provided by local government authorities.

[Supplementary Information No B72.] Question: Mr R Cook asked for the 2014-15 spend on the Signs of Safety program and the 2015-16 spend on the Signs of Safety program.

Answer: The Signs of Safety Child Protection Practice Framework is the Department for Child Protection and Family Support’s (the Department’s) overarching child protection practice framework and as such the precise costs associated with utilising this framework cannot be quantified.

The identifiable 2014-15 Expenditure that can be directly attributable to the Signs of Safety Child Protection Practice Framework is outlined below:

The estimated contract value in 2015-16 is up to $100,000.


Question: Mr D.J. Kelly asked for reconciliation of Component 1 and 2 funding.

Answer:

The State Government provided funding of $600 million over four years in the 2011-12 State budget to support a sustainable not-for-profit sector and ensure that government pays an appropriate price for the services it purchases.

The Department for Child Protection and Family Support (the Department) was allocated $8,610,224. From 1 July 2011 an across the board increase of 15 per cent (Component I) was paid to all eligible services.

A second funding injection of $117 million (Component II) over two years was provided by the State Government in the 2013-14 budget.

The Department was allocated the following Component II funding:

• 2013-14 $6,274,000;

• 2014-15 $7,453,000; and

• 2015-16 $7,770,000.

The Department identified three priority areas for Component II funding which were:

• family and domestic violence services

• youth services, and regional and remote services.
