(a) Hospitality formed part of the contractual arrangements to support the WWE in Perth and was utilised by the Government, Tourism WA and its staff to build and strengthen relationships with key stakeholders.
The contract provided for a corporate function with the WWE, two corporate suites and 50 general admission tickets which were utilised within government, by key industry stakeholders and by members of the public, including as giveaways.
As hospitality is negotiated through the event procurement process, there is no specific cost or additional cost paid.
