AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for the question and for his interest in this matter. I remind the House that I think he still holds the state residential record for 1500 metres, which was set at Perry Lakes. As everybody in the Chamber knows, the Perry Lakes sports facilities have been subject to ongoing discussions between the State Government and the Town of Cambridge. I am happy to inform the House that the Town of Cambridge has voted to build new sports facilities to replace those at Perry Lakes. Last Monday night, the council and the mayor, Ross Willcock, and representatives from the Department of Sport and Recreation met with me in my office to discuss the Perry Lakes facilities. Subsequent to the meeting in my office, at the meeting on the following evening the full council voted almost unanimously - I think it was 7-1 or 8-1 - to replace the Perry Lakes facilities with facilities across the road, basically, on the AK reserve. Thanks to the Town of Cambridge, with the replacement of Perry Lakes this State will get a state basketball centre, for which the council has allocated, nominally at least, $8 million; a state rugby union centre for some $3 million to $3.5 million; and an athletics facility capable of holding state and even national athletics events, for which the council has earmarked some $5 million to $5.5 million. The council has shown a great deal of courage and foresight in its decision. This matter has been dragging on for many years. The previous Government was unable to come to a resolution with the Town of Cambridge because of a number of factors. The Government has been able to provide, to quote the cliche, a win-win situation for the Town of Cambridge and its ratepayers and for the people of Western Australia. To a large extent the Perry Lakes facility has been a white elephant since it was constructed in 1962 for the then Empire Games. It is far bigger than we need and is far too expensive to maintain. Thanks to the negotiations that the Government has successfully completed with the Town of Cambridge at this stage, we can look forward to excellent facilities of which Western Australia will be proud in the same general location; that is, adjacent to Challenge Stadium and the Western Australian Institute of Sport. All athletes I know have looked forward to this development very keenly. Importantly, the existing Perry Lakes Athletics Stadium will not be demolished until the replacement facility is built, so there will not be an interim period in which there is no facility. That is very important. We are on the verge of a new era in the provision of sports facilities in Western Australia. Perry Lakes is a key part of that for athletics, state basketball and rugby union. We are close to finalising the future of Perth and Leederville Ovals to provide a home base for soccer and rugby on a bigger scale than that which would be required at Perry Lakes, and potentially a home for East Perth and Subiaco Football Clubs at Leederville Oval if East Perth agrees to go there. We are on the verge of a very exciting era in facilities development. I congratulate all those people involved in the negotiations, and particularly in this case the Mayor of the Town of Cambridge, Mr Ross Willcock, and his councillors.
