PERTH
GLORY — COMPENSATION
713. Hon SUE ELLERY to the
Leader of the House representing the Minister for Sport and Recreation:
I refer to the Minister for Sport and Recreation's
decision to pay compensation to Perth Glory out of the capital allocation for
the Perth rectangular stadium.
(1) Was the
compensation—deeds of settlement and release—that was paid to
Golfwest Trading Company Pty Ltd and Klemap Pty Ltd part of the capital
allocation for the new Perth stadium?
(2) If so, was this a decision of
cabinet, or the minister's own decision?
(3) If no to (1), why was this
treated differently from the compensation paid to Perth Glory?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the
question.
(1) No.
(2) It was a decision of cabinet.
(3) Compensation
to Perth Glory was sourced from the nib Stadium project budget due to
sufficient budget capacity existing at an advanced stage of the project.
Compensation negotiated with Golfwest was a contractual issue separate from the
stadium and hence the stadium budget.
