POOL ENTRY PROGRAM
345. Hon DONNA FARAGHER to the parliamentary secretary representing the
Minister for Sport and Recreation :
I
refer to the pool entry pilot program operating across the Gascoyne, midwest,
wheatbelt and great southern regions .
(1) What is the total cost of the
pilot program?
(2) What is the
total duration of the pilot program?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the
honourable member for some notice of the question.
(1) Based on an
estimated 300 children participating in the program, the total cost was
estimated at $50 000. This takes into
account the varying pool entry costs in each local government authority. To
date, 240 children have accessed a regional pool season pass.
(2) The pilot
program commenced on 15 February 2024. The majority of local government
authorities are ending the program in April 2024, with a further five
concluding in mid-May 2024. This is aligned to specific pool opening periods.
