QuestionView source ↗
I refer to the minister’s statement made earlier today concerning the Burswood Resort Casino. (1) What effect will the changes to casino tax rates have on the State’s revenue? (2) Are these changes conditional upon Burswood Resort Casino providing a facility suitable to host the Hopman Cup in the future? Hon NICK GRIFFITHS
AnswerView source ↗
(1)-(2) I am pleased that the honourable member has shown an interest in a very important development for the State which, as I have said to others, has been good for jobs, development and the revenue of the State. A conservative estimate for the current forward estimates period is $13 million, and the revenue will continue to grow after that to $30 million - Hon Barry House: Extra? Hon NICK GRIFFITHS: Yes, extra. The current agreement provides for the Burswood Dome to remain in place. It is not proposed to amend that part of the current agreement.
