The seven sites were not funded because the Department felt that some sites did not attract a strong field of applicants, either because of the postcode boundaries or infrastructure requirements of round one. These sites may be/were readvertised in future funding rounds with adjusted postcodes and with the support of the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) Working Groups.
