CROWN
PERTH — INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION BUSINESS TAX
1013. Ms R. SAFFIOTI to the
Minister for Planning:
I have a supplementary question. Will the minister ask Crown
for a contribution given that he is funnelling up to 60 000 customers to its
front door for 22 weeks of the year, and that the minister's
infrastructure will provide a direct benefit to Crown?

AnswerView source ↗

In relation to the development of the stadium, that is not
something for which I play a primary role; it is much more the responsibility
of the Minister for Sport and Recreation, and the Premier has also been very
much involved in all of those discussions.
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER :
Members!
Mr J.H.D. DAY : Of
course, what is happening is subject to cabinet endorsement. The planning system
is certainly not seeking to funnel 60 000 people into Crown, but there
certainly is a stadium development, and that is a very good thing for Perth,
for Western Australia and for the wider Burswood precinct, and it will serve as
part of an entry statement to people coming from the east into the Perth
metropolitan area.
