My Department has a wide and diverse business agenda, including providing necessary housing supports, fostering community and rural development in partnership with local government and other local development bodies, and protecting the environment. In order to deliver on this broad business agenda, my Department allocates significant resources to a wide range of organisations, including local authorities, dedicated agencies and non-statutory bodies, as well as to individuals. The information requested on the funding allocated and expended on capital projects and other initiatives is not readily available in my Department; such information is not routinely collated on the basis of constituency boundaries. The compilation of this information would involve a disproportionate amount of time and work. If a more specific question is tabled relating to a particular area of funding from my Department, I will endeavour to provide the information sought.
