METROPOLITAN REGION SCHEME OMNIBUS AMENDMENT 1016/33
I refer to the proposed metropolitan region scheme omnibus amendment 1016/33, which includes the Perry Lakes Stadium land and the City Beach Bowling Club land. (1) Why has the minister failed to meet her promise to the Town of Cambridge that she would table the amendment in Parliament in February 2002? (2) What is the current status of the amendment? (3) Given that the Town of Cambridge has agreed to the Government’s demands to fund replacement sporting facilities, when does the minister expect to table the amendment? Ms MacTIERNAN

(1)-(3) I discussed this issue with the member last week, and, as I explained to her then, the advice received by the Government was that there was a delay in ensuring that the Town of Cambridge was locked into the agreement to provide the alternative sporting facilities that had been the basis of the decision to approve the metropolitan region scheme amendment. This is a valid consideration that must be taken into account when changing the zoning from sporting facility to residential development. When I last checked on this matter, I was told that there was still some way to go before the Town of Cambridge could be tied down to something more than a resolution of council. I hope this matter has been concluded. If the member had given notice of this question I could have pursued further advice beyond that which I gave her last week. Dr Constable interjected. Ms MacTIERNAN: It is not my job to enter into the negotiations with the Town of Cambridge. However, the Government will ensure that it secures proper sporting facilities for the people of this State. When that it done, the amendment will be tabled.
