(2) How many businesses have been recipients of funding through LRBL in the (a) 2015-16 and (b) 2016-17 financial year.

Ms Fitzharris: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1) ACT Government’s allocated funding for the Light Rail Business Link Program in 2015-16 was $500,000 and in 2016-17 allocated funding was $500,000.

(2) The Canberra Business Chamber (CBC), manager of the Light Rail Business Link program, does not provide direct funding to businesses through the program. It provides support to local business and industry sectors to maximise business opportunities generated by Light Rail construction and future operation. The program also assists individual traders and business precincts that maybe impacted by light rail construction. Support provided by the program to individual businesses includes tailored one-on-one business strategy advice, free places in customised business development programs and representation on specific issues to Canberra Metro and Transport Canberra. The Light Rail Business Link program also provides support to business precincts and industry sectors through promotion, collaboration, communication and advocacy.
