advantage of space in Government schools on either a casual basis or, in the case of surplus space, on a more permanent basis by way of a lease.

Additionally, numerous community groups receive funding for the establishment of facilities to meet specialised needs such as youth and women's refuges. The latest specific purpose community facilities to be provided include the Koomarri hydrotherapy pool, the Lanyon Youth & Community Centre and the Gungahlin Community Resource Centre.

Finally Mr Speaker, Recommendation 7 seeks a review of the base funding level of the Interest Subsidy Scheme for capital works in the non-Government schooling sector. The Government has agreed with this recommendation and the 2001-02 Budget provides an additional $300,000 to the scheme.

I would like to take the opportunity to thank members of the Standing Committee on Education, Community Services and Recreation for the work they have done on this matter.

I commend the Government Response to the Members of the Legislative Assembly.
