My question is for the Minister representing the Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Local Government, Senator Watt. The 2017 Launceston City Deal identified 33 projects to increase job growth and support an increase in population, all while creating a vibrant liveable city. Five more projects were later added. The city deal has delivered a number of projects that bring new life into my home city of Lonnie, including the UTAS relocation and transformation project, the Albert Hall revamp and the Tamar Estuary improvements. In 2019, the Launceston City Deal was extended to be a 10-year plan ending in 2027. Minister King has committed to finishing off the existing programs. Of the 38 projects promised to the people of Launceston, how many have actually been delivered?
