(4) Austrade events referred to in part (1) held overseas in the financial years:

(a) 2014-15 – 4 events (Austrade Education Agent Seminars – China, Taiwan and Korea);

(b) 2015-16 – 5 events (Australia Week in China, Australia Indonesia Business Week and Austrade Education Agent Seminars – China, Taiwan and Korea); and

(5) Investment leads generated from participation in Austrade events and their value.

Investment lead generation is not necessarily aligned to all Austrade events and engagements. However, Austrade works collaboratively with all states and territories through a partnership approach to attracting investment and directing relevant investment leads to each or all jurisdictions.

Further information is contained in my answer to QON 177 (BM17/1234).

(6) Investment leads passed through the Austrade channel can vary considerably in their scale, investment readiness, timeframe and degree or otherwise of government facilitation that might be required. Leads are also ‘commercial in confidence’, regardless of whether they proceed or not, or are made public. However, the ACT Government has received 45 investment leads since 2014 to date from Austrade through this partnership.

Currently, the ACT Government is facilitating and supporting three investment projects that came as leads from Austrade. The Government is not able to provide specific information on the investor or value of investment.

Further information is contained in my answer to QON 177 (BM17/1234).

(7) There are no plans for ACT Government public servants and/or Ministers to attend any Austrade events including trade events, exhibitions, seminars and missions for the remainder of 2016-17.
