Regional Development Fund

Mr GRIFFITHS (Goyder) (14:45): Minister, as you were part of the group that developed the guidelines for the major projects fund, I am just asking a question about the detail, then. In assessing those applications, do you actually attach the highest significance to cost-benefit analysis, cost-effectiveness analysis, an economic impact analysis or a social return on investment?

The Hon. G.G. BROCK (Frome—Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Local Government) (14:46): It is a very important question. In actual fact, it will be a combination of everything. We are looking for opportunities to increase employment opportunities for our regional areas.
