I refer to the Perry Lakes Stadium Redevelopment, and I ask –
(1) Will the Minister confirm that the estimated cost of the new Perry Lakes Stadium sporting facilities is $55.8 million?
(2) What is the estimated cost of building the rugby facilities on a separate site, given that an east-west flora corridor is to be retained on the new stadium site?
(3) Will the Government fund any scope increases or cost escalations relating to the project?
(4) Will the Minister provide a detailed breakdown of the final development budget prior to project commencement?
(5) When will the Minister release this information to Town of Cambridge ratepayers?
