AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. The Department of Indigenous Affairs advises as follows. (1) The Department of Indigenous Affairs, Aboriginal Lands Trust and the Goldfields Land and Sea Council are presently considering options for the future management and operation of Maku Stadium. The state government has spent approximately $50 000 this financial year on repairs to the stadium due to extensive vandalism that has occurred. As a result, the building has now been secured in an effort to prevent further damage and unauthorised access into the facility. (2) A reopening date is yet to be determined as options for the future use and management of the stadium have yet to be finalised. (3) The DIA recently appointed a caretaker who has taken up residency at the stadium. (4) No formal written application has been received from the Kalgoorlie-Boulder Basketball Association in regard to the proposed management or use of the stadium.
