I thank the
honourable member for some notice of the question and provide the following
answer on behalf of the Minister for Sport and Recreation.
(1)–(2) The Cook Labor government was
re-elected to deliver a transformative project for the Burswood peninsula. It
will deliver and enhance the environment through this project. It will have
greater disability access for people attending events at Optus Stadium; a new
outdoor amphitheatre for live music and events; a multipurpose building; and a
multi-use street circuit to support a wide range of events on the beautiful
Burswood foreshore, including cycling, triathlons, running festivals,
paralympic racing, community sports and a once-a-year marquee motor sport
event.
