KUNUNURRA WATER
PLAYGROUND
1020. Hon JACQUI BOYDELL to the Leader of the House
representing the Minister for Sport and Recreation:
I refer to two separate media
releases by the minister announcing Kununurra's water playground plans,
one from 28 July 2018 committing $590 000 to the project and one from 4
September 2020 committing $3.2 million.
(1) Will the
minister outline how the cost of the project has blown out by $2.6 million in
the time between the two announcements?
(2) Has any of
the original $590 000 budget allocation been spent since 2018; and, if yes,
will the minister please provide a breakdown of costs and when they were spent?
(3) Will the
minister table any correspondence between his office and stakeholders relating
to this project?

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) The
commitment made in 2017 was a contribution towards a water playground.
Subsequent planning, community consultation and design work from the Shire of
Wyndham–East Kimberley indicated a larger facility would provide a much
better outcome for the community.
(2) No.
(3) Yes, and I table
the documents. The member may also be interested in local media coverage of the
project so I table that article as well.
