ALBANY SURF LIFE SAVING CLUB
I refer to the commitment made by the Liberal candidate for Albany, Andrew Partington, on Monday, 1 September to the president of Albany Surf Life Saving Club, Rob Lucas. (1) Will the minister confirm that the new Liberal government will honour this commitment and provide $550 000 in funding to complete the final stage of the Albany Surf Life Saving Club building? (2) Has the minister requested a budget allocation for this amount? (3) Will this commitment be delivered through the royalties for regions fund? Mr T.K. WALDRON

I thank the member for Albany for the question. The member for Albany is strong on his sporting stuff and it is good to see that. (1)-(3) There was a Liberal Party election commitment to expand the community sporting and recreation facilities fund to $80 million over four years. As the Minister for Sport and Recreation, I certainly welcome that. It is a good thing to be able to get more community projects on the ground, in both metropolitan and country areas. I do not have with me the specific details mentioned by the member. I got some notice of the question at 1.20 pm but I do not have the details to give him a specific answer. However, he has asked an important question, and I will get those details and give him an accurate answer to the question tomorrow. I am happy to have a chat with the member for Albany about the project because it sounds like a very good project to me.
