8. (1) Subject to sub‑clause (2), a project shall be eligible for funding pursuant to this agreement if it is—
    (a) a service or capital facility that is—
        (i) within the scope of the program;
        (ii) provided or to be provided by or on behalf of the State, a local government, a community organisation or a joint body;
        (iii) provided or to be provided to persons within the target population; and
        (iv) approved for funding pursuant to clause 9; or
    (b) a former Commonwealth‑funded project.

(2) A project referred to in sub‑clause 7 (4), being a former Commonwealth‑funded project, shall be eligible for funding pursuant to this agreement but only—

(2) The State Minister shall, in consultation with the Commonwealth Minister, review the operation and level of funding of—

    (b) approved projects eligible for funding pursuant to paragraph 8 (1) (b) annually.

(3) The Commonwealth Minister and the State Minister may at any time jointly revoke or vary an approval given under sub‑clause (1), and may at any time jointly agree that an approved project eligible for funding pursuant to paragraph 8 (1) (b) is no longer eligible for funding or that the approved project as varied is eligible for funding for the purpose of this agreement.
