(f) will the stadium operations need to account for the debt associated with the construction of the ancillary transport infrastructure;

(a-h) Development of the Project Definition Plan for the stadium is being progressed on the basis of the facility being a multi-user / multi-purpose facility. The current planning phase, which is due to be completed in mid-2012 will review the assumptions made in the Major Stadia Taskforce report and also consider matters including site location, master planning, infrastructure requirements, cost, management, procurement and preferred delivery models to enable decision to be made.
(i - m) While initial planning has been undertaken, a transport masterplan is currently being developed for government consideration. As part of the plan, specific, detailed information will be developed relating to issues including route plans, resources and patronage ingress and egress. Government will then consider the plan and make decisions.
