As advised by the State Solicitor's Office, information relating to funding support to bring this event to Perth is commercial-in-confidence as the release of such information would provide rival host cities with an unfair advantage over Perth and would have an adverse effect on Eventscorp's business, commercial and financial affairs, and possibly those of associated third parties. As a matter of procedural fairness to all parties concerned, it would be necessary for this information to be requested through the Freedom of Information process.
