I refer to the Perth Park Business Case Summary, which states that in undiscounted terms the project is expected to incur $217.5 million in capital costs, average operational costs of $20.1 million per annum between 2026-27 and 2055-56, and average maintenance costs of $4.9 million per annum over the same period, including allowances for track reconstruction in 2040-41 and 2055-56, and I ask: (a) For the forecast average $20.1 million per annum operational costs: (i) what is the breakdown by agency or entity (e.g. OMTID, VenuesWest, Burswood Park Board, Tourism WA or others); (ii) what is the breakdown by major activity (event operations, staffing, security, cleaning, traffic management, marketing, utilities etc.); and (iii) what is the breakdown by major asset or component (amphitheatre, track and motorsport, multi-use building, community facilities, urban forest/landscaping, and shared precinct costs); and (b) For the forecast average $4.9 million per annum maintenance costs: (i) what is the breakdown by asset/component; and (ii) what is the dollar value and timing of the specific allowances for track reconstruction in 2040-41 and 2055-56?
