Burswood Entertainment Precinct—Outdoor amphitheatre
896. Hon Julie Freeman to
the parliamentary secretary representing the Minister for Sport and Recreation:
I refer to the
minister's response to question without notice 840 regarding the proposed
Burswood entertainment precinct outdoor amphitheatre.
(1) Noting the reference to a gap in the market
between venues accommodating 1,000 patrons and the RAC Arena's capacity for 15,000
patrons, why has a venue within this capacity range not been proposed?
(2) How many performances or touring acts are currently
seeking or have in recent years sought access to a venue with the capacity of 20,000?
(3) Has consideration been given to developing a
venue with a flexible multiuse space that could be utilised by Western
Australian dance schools, universities, community organisations and the
business sector?
(4) If yes to (3), will these organisations be
consulted?
