Public Accounts Committee

Environmental Protection Agency: Financial Statements 2017

Ms Laura Burke:

There was a broader grant available for house works that this could have fallen into, but in terms of the pilot project undertaken last year, there was, I think, a 50% grant for this type of work. I can send this information to the committee as part of the overall radon data. Legislation was proposed which sought to provide for grants specifically with regard to radon. My understanding is that it was delayed for a variety of reasons. We undertook the pilot project to see how, if that legislation was enacted, delivery could be supported and the outcomes needed could be achieved.
