AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for Kingsley for her question. She has a great interest in sport and a great knowledge, which is very helpful to me as minister. I am delighted to answer this question, because the development and improvement of the Western Australian Institute of Sport high performance centre has certainly been a priority of mine since I became the minister. I am really grateful that we are now on the way. The Liberal–National government’s commitment of $2 million in the last state budget for detailing all the planning work for the WAIS facility certainly brings that vision of a special sporting precinct that will service regional, national and international sport. The precinct at Mt Claremont is already significant, but to really round that off, the development of the WAIS facility is very, very important. The high performance centre will be constructed at the WAIS facility at Mt Claremont and it will consider the high performance needs of our emerging and international elite athletes. The high performance centre will include water-based recovery areas, indoor multipurpose training facilities, strength and conditioning rooms and high performance sport research equipment. I will comment on the research, because fantastic research is being done at WAIS right now. I think we lead in Australia and sometimes in the world in that area. The centre will also include consultation areas for sports people to consult with their coaches, nutritionists and medical advisers. If members have seen the current facility, they will know that it is quite out of date. The addition of this high performance centre to the sports park at Mt Claremont—which already includes the athletic stadium, the basketball centre and the rugby training and administration facility—will certainly ensure that our athletes can continue to compete at the world level and be the best on the world stage. It will also give greater opportunities to more of our emerging athletes, which I think is just as important. The investment by the state, along with the existing investments in the netball centre, the nib Stadium—which we talked about yesterday—and the upgrades to Barbagallo Raceway, underlines our government’s commitment to the development of high quality sporting infrastructure. We are doing a lot in that area. As minister, I am really looking forward to the results of the detailed planning work so that the high performance centre can really play its role as the keystone facility within that sports park. With all those sports there working together, we are getting to a situation in which the facilities all complement each other. Yesterday or last week I spoke about utilising the rugby facility for disabled sports et cetera, which I think is fantastic to see. I take this opportunity to briefly acknowledge the wonderful achievements of our high performance sporting community. When we look at our population and the size of our institute, we can see that WA certainly kicks above its weight. In the member for Kingsley’s question she mentioned Steve Hooker, Lauren Mitchell and Cameron Meyer, who are high-class world champion athletes. When I also think about people such as Ben Offereins and Kim Mickle and so many others—some youngsters are emerging who we probably do not know much about yet—I think we do really well. I want to congratulate Steve Lawrence; he is a fantastic leader at WAIS. Grant Boyce and the WAIS board of directors have done a really good job. They are fantastic to work with. They are very fair and understanding. When we get groups such as that working with government, we can achieve really sensible outcomes, and the high performance centre is one such outcome. The London Olympics is not that far away; it is less than a year way. Therefore, the Liberal–National government’s commitment to this high performance centre could not be timelier for our athletes in WA.
