PERTH STADIUM — WESTADIUM CONTRACT
586. Hon MARTIN PRITCHARD to the minister representing the
Minister for Sport and Recreation:
I refer to the new Perth Stadium and
the contract signed with Westadium and new revenue streams made available to
Westadium, in particular the commercial partnerships with Chevron and BHP.
(1) Who made the
decision to allow Westadium to enter into commercial partnerships with Chevron
and BHP, and when was the decision made?
(2) Why did this
occur, given Westadium was not to have control of other revenue-stream opportunities,
except for a 500 square metre commercial space at the stadium site?
(3) What other
commercial partnership opportunities have been provided to Westadium?
(4) What is the
total value of all Westadium commercial partnerships that were factored into the
design, build, finance and maintain contract?

AnswerView source ↗

I respond representing the Minister
for Housing representing the Minister for Sport and Recreation. On behalf of
the Minister for Sport and Recreation, I thank the honourable member for some
notice of the question.
(1) Westadium
included the potential sponsorship agreements with BHP Billiton and Chevron
within its response to the design, build, finance and maintain project request
for proposals. The value of the sponsorship agreements and the benefits to the
community were considered by the evaluation panel and approved by the state
government as part of Westadium's overall bid.
(2) The
sponsorship agreements are not a revenue opportunity for Westadium as the total
value of sponsorship agreements are required to be invested into the sports
precinct to provide infrastructure.
(3) The 500 square metre commercial
space is noted in (2).
(4) The total value of the
sponsorship agreements with BHP and Chevron is $10 million.
