The Minister for the Environment; Science has provided the following response: (a) The exploration of options for better public utilisation and enjoyment of the Old Bowling Club and the Royal Kings Park Tennis Club (RKPTC) precinct was identified in the 2004-2009 Botanic Gardens and Parks Authority (BGPA) Masterplan which I released on 29 June 2004. The redevelopment of the RKPTC was not put out to tender as there is no change in the identity of the head lessee. The RKPTC itself has contracted with a third party (Next Generation Club Australia) to undertake the redevelopment and refurbishment. They will become a sub-lessee of the RKPTC. The BGPA focused on the continuity of use of the site, with the development enabling the culturally significant RKPTC to continue to function as an important centre for tennis in Western Australia. The proposal was released for a public comment period of more than 8 weeks from 30 July to 30 September 2004. (b) The benefits to the wider Western Australian community are numerous, and include: - Replacement and/or restoration of existing degraded buildings and facilities and provision for the installation of a new facility which will include a gym, hydro-therapy pools and associated health and club facilities. It will also provide for the refurbishment and maintenance of listed heritage assets such as the McGibbon Stand and the member stand and pavilion. In addition, this redevelopment will, for the first time, provide for public access to the RKPTC and its new facilities. - There is no extension of the previous RKPTC leased area. Parking is along the eastern side of RKPTC site and on a part of the Old Ivey Watson Area that will allow for the removal of an unused, asbestos roofed building, with a new entrance from Kings Park Road. This new entrance and improved public parking will be beneficial in delineating the areas for RKPTC patrons and visitors to the popular Lotterywest Family Area Children's playground on the western side of the RKPTC site. - The RKPTC has been on the site for 105 years, and is an important heritage icon in terms of historical cultural contributions and heritage assets. Neither the BGPA or RKPTC have the financial capacity in their own rights to replace or restore the existing contemporary or heritage assets and facilities on site, and the new agreement will ensure the long-term survival of the RKPTC and the refurbishment and maintenance of the built infrastructure on site. - The BGPA will also be the beneficiary of substantial rental revenue and turnover rent which is detailed in part (e). (c) Yes. (d) No. (i) Not applicable. (e) The rental revenue is derived from both an annual rental component and a turnover rental component. Details are as follows: Rent: Year 1 $50,000 Year 2 $50,000 Year 3 $50,000 Year 4 $75,000 Year 5 $75,000 Year 6 $100,000 Year 7 $100,000 Year 8 $150,000 Year 9 and each successive year $150,000.00 + CPI pa Turnover Rent: (i) 1% of Gross Revenue for the Calendar Year equal to or less than $4,000,000; (ii) 1.5% of the Gross Revenue for that Calendar Year which is greater than $4,000,000 and equal to or less than $7,000,000; (ii) 2% of the Gross Revenue for that Calendar Year that is greater than $7,000,00 and equal to or less than $10,000,000; and (iii) 2.5% of the Gross Revenue for that Calendar Year that is greater than $10,000,000. (f) No. The approval of this project was the result of several years of very careful negotiations, in which the net public benefit was always the deciding factor, and does not in any way indicate further approvals would be given to private companies to control and operate sports facilities in Kings Park and Botanic Garden.

The Minister for the Environment; Science has provided the following response: (a) The exploration of options for better public utilisation and enjoyment of the Old Bowling Club and the Royal Kings Park Tennis Club (RKPTC) precinct was identified in the 2004-2009 Botanic Gardens and Parks Authority (BGPA) Masterplan which I released on 29 June 2004. The redevelopment of the RKPTC was not put out to tender as there is no change in the identity of the head lessee. The RKPTC itself has contracted with a third party (Next Generation Club Australia) to undertake the redevelopment and refurbishment. They will become a sub-lessee of the RKPTC. The BGPA focused on the continuity of use of the site, with the development enabling the culturally significant RKPTC to continue to function as an important centre for tennis in Western Australia. The proposal was released for a public comment period of more than 8 weeks from 30 July to 30 September 2004. (b) The benefits to the wider Western Australian community are numerous, and include: - Replacement and/or restoration of existing degraded buildings and facilities and provision for the installation of a new facility which will include a gym, hydro-therapy pools and associated health and club facilities. It will also provide for the refurbishment and maintenance of listed heritage assets such as the McGibbon Stand and the member stand and pavilion. In addition, this redevelopment will, for the first time, provide for public access to the RKPTC and its new facilities. - There is no extension of the previous RKPTC leased area. Parking is along the eastern side of RKPTC site and on a part of the Old Ivey Watson Area that will allow for the removal of an unused, asbestos roofed building, with a new entrance from Kings Park Road. This new entrance and improved public parking will be beneficial in delineating the areas for RKPTC patrons and visitors to the popular Lotterywest Family Area Children's playground on the western side of the RKPTC site. - The RKPTC has been on the site for 105 years, and is an important heritage icon in terms of historical cultural contributions and heritage assets. Neither the BGPA or RKPTC have the financial capacity in their own rights to replace or restore the existing contemporary or heritage assets and facilities on site, and the new agreement will ensure the long-term survival of the RKPTC and the refurbishment and maintenance of the built infrastructure on site. - The BGPA will also be the beneficiary of substantial rental revenue and turnover rent which is detailed in part (e). (c) Yes. (d) No. (i) Not applicable. (e) The rental revenue is derived from both an annual rental component and a turnover rental component. Details are as follows: Rent: Year 1 $50,000 Year 2 $50,000 Year 3 $50,000 Year 4 $75,000 Year 5 $75,000 Year 6 $100,000 Year 7 $100,000 Year 8 $150,000 Year 9 and each successive year $150,000.00 + CPI pa Turnover Rent: (i) 1% of Gross Revenue for the Calendar Year equal to or less than $4,000,000; (ii) 1.5% of the Gross Revenue for that Calendar Year which is greater than $4,000,000 and equal to or less than $7,000,000; (ii) 2% of the Gross Revenue for that Calendar Year that is greater than $7,000,00 and equal to or less than $10,000,000; and (iii) 2.5% of the Gross Revenue for that Calendar Year that is greater than $10,000,000.

Answer
The Minister for the Environment; Science has provided the following response:
(a) The exploration of options for better public utilisation and enjoyment of the Old Bowling Club and the Royal Kings Park Tennis Club (RKPTC) precinct was identified in the 2004-2009 Botanic Gardens and Parks Authority (BGPA) Masterplan which I released on 29 June 2004. The redevelopment of the RKPTC was not put out to tender as there is no change in the identity of the head lessee. The RKPTC itself has contracted with a third party (Next Generation Club Australia) to undertake the redevelopment and refurbishment. They will become a sub-lessee of the RKPTC. The BGPA focused on the continuity of use of the site, with the development enabling the culturally significant RKPTC to continue to function as an important centre for tennis in Western Australia. The proposal was released for a public comment period of more than 8 weeks from 30 July to 30 September 2004.
(b) The benefits to the wider Western Australian community are numerous, and include:
- Replacement and/or restoration of existing degraded buildings and facilities and provision for the installation of a new facility which will include a gym, hydro-therapy pools and associated health and club facilities. It will also provide for the refurbishment and maintenance of listed heritage assets such as the McGibbon Stand and the member stand and pavilion. In addition, this redevelopment will, for the first time, provide for public access to the RKPTC and its new facilities.
- There is no extension of the previous RKPTC leased area. Parking is along the eastern side of RKPTC site and on a part of the Old Ivey Watson Area that will allow for the removal of an unused, asbestos roofed building, with a new entrance from Kings Park Road. This new entrance and improved public parking will be beneficial in delineating the areas for RKPTC patrons and visitors to the popular Lotterywest Family Area Children's playground on the western side of the RKPTC site.
- The RKPTC has been on the site for 105 years, and is an important heritage icon in terms of historical cultural contributions and heritage assets. Neither the BGPA or RKPTC have the financial capacity in their own rights to replace or restore the existing contemporary or heritage assets and facilities on site, and the new agreement will ensure the long-term survival of the RKPTC and the refurbishment and maintenance of the built infrastructure on site.
- The BGPA will also be the beneficiary of substantial rental revenue and turnover rent which is detailed in part (e).
(c) Yes.
(d) No.
(i) Not applicable.
(e) The rental revenue is derived from both an annual rental component and a turnover rental component. Details are as follows:

Year 3 $50,000
Year 4 $75,000
Year 5 $75,000
Year 6 $100,000
Year 7 $100,000
Year 8 $150,000
Year 9 and each successive year $150,000.00 + CPI pa
Turnover Rent:
(i) 1% of Gross Revenue for the Calendar Year equal to or less than $4,000,000;
(ii) 1.5% of the Gross Revenue for that Calendar Year which is greater than $4,000,000 and equal to or less than $7,000,000;
(ii) 2% of the Gross Revenue for that Calendar Year that is greater than $7,000,00 and equal to or less than $10,000,000; and
