AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for Bateman for
the question. This exciting project along that southern corridor is going to be
fantastic for the area that the member for Bateman represents and that the
member for Cockburn represents. We are pleased to be able to commit $10 million
towards this innovative project, which will, as I said, service those southern
suburbs. One thing that the Department of Sport and Recreation has done is
identify that some of the outer suburbs of Perth need facilities, and we have
been looking to try to address that wherever it is possible.I acknowledge the City of Cockburn
and its partners, the Fremantle Football Club and Curtin University of
Technology, on the development of this significant project, costing $106 million
in total. I think it is great when we get different groups coming together to
come up with a really solid project. This $10 million commitment follows an
earlier contribution of $2.4 million through the community sporting and
recreation facilities fund. Just briefly, the facility will include pools,
ovals, a community cafe, playground and picnic areas, an indoor sports centre,
playing courts, sports medicine facilities, a gymnasium and education
facilities. The $10 million from the state matches $10 million from the federal
government, so I thank the federal government for its commitment to this
project as well.I acknowledge the significant
contribution being made by the City of Cockburn and the other partners. This
facility will also be the new home of the Fremantle Football Club. I applaud
the Dockers on the really thorough work they had done with the City of Cockburn
before they came to government. Both the city and the Dockers did a really good
job. It is good that one of our elite teams is teaming up with the community;
it is innovative and I think it is the way to go. This project also presents an
opportunity for us to look at the future of Fremantle Oval. I intend to work
with the Dockers, the Fremantle council and the two Fremantle-based West
Australian Football League clubs to see what opportunity the Dockers'
move to Cockburn presents. It is a groundbreaking project with elite, community
and tertiary facilities. It sets a new benchmark, and I certainly look forward
to its completion in late 2016, which is the estimated completion date.
