I thank the member for Kingsley. As everyone knows, the member for Kingsley is a great advocate for women’s sport and sport generally. Just before I start, I would like to take the opportunity to congratulate the member for Victoria Park on recently completing the Busselton Half Ironman 2010 competition. Well done! Mr B.S. Wyatt : It was a pleasure to see you at the finish line! Mr T.K. WALDRON : It certainly was. Last Saturday, 15 May, at the Matthews Netball Centre, together with the Premier, I was delighted to be able to announce that the Liberal–National government has allocated $26.1 million for the development of Western Australia’s long overdue state netball centre. I take this opportunity to highlight a little bit about the value of the sport of netball and the Liberal–National government’s contribution of $26.1 million to that state netball facility. Many members will be aware that netball is a huge sport in Western Australia; in fact, it is the number one participatory sport for women in Western Australia. There is no doubt that netball delivers many physical, mental and social benefits to our women and young girls throughout Western Australia. There are more than 800 affiliated netball clubs in Western Australia, approximately 30 000 registered netball players and thousands of others who play on a social basis. On any given weekend probably 100 000 people are involved in netball as players, coaches, umpires, supporters et cetera. It is an important sport. Mr M.P. Murray : That is the women’s side of things; what about the football? Several members interjected. Mr T.K. WALDRON : I tell members that there are a lot of very happy netballers and women around because they have been waiting since 2004 for members opposite to do it! We have now done it, so I rest my case. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Thank you, members! Mr T.K. WALDRON : One of the biggest challenges in the sport and recreation industry in our state is keeping young women in our communities engaged in physical activity, particularly throughout their teen years. Many women’s sports deliver this, and netball certainly does. Therefore, I believe that this facility and this key objective of our government will help deliver better health for our community. I just want to say on a personal level—I am sure that the Premier and the local member, the member for Churchlands, who were there on Saturday would agree—that I was pretty impressed with the thousands of kids playing their hearts out and enjoying the sport of netball at the centre. That, of course, is replicated around Western Australia. The state-of-the-art facility will include four indoor netball courts, office space for Netball WA and facilities for the West Coast Fever who will also train there. I take this opportunity to congratulate the West Coast Fever on their recent good win, and five of their members are in the Australian squad so they are doing very well. This facility will give them a base—the first base they have ever had. Also, the facility will include some of the state-of-the-art innovative designs that we have at the new athletics and basketball stadium, AK Reserve, for heating and all those types of things. As I said, member for Collie–Preston, this project has been endorsed since 2004 and now it is actually happening. The government has worked really closely with the Department of Sport and Recreation and Netball WA. A project definition plan and a comprehensive business case for the facility have been completed. Construction of this important piece of infrastructure will begin in 2011 and we will complete it as soon as we possibly can. I thank all the stakeholders involved—namely, the Department of Sport and Recreation, Netball WA, the Town of Cambridge and VenuesWest.

I thank all the stakeholders involved—namely, the Department of Sport and Recreation, Netball WA, the Town of Cambridge and VenuesWest.
Mr T.K. WALDRON replied: I thank the member for Kingsley. As everyone knows, the member for Kingsley is a great advocate for women’s sport and sport generally. Just before I start, I would like to take the opportunity to congratulate the member for Victoria Park on recently completing the Busselton Half Ironman 2010 competition. Well done! Mr B.S. Wyatt : It was a pleasure to see you at the finish line! Mr T.K. WALDRON : It certainly was. Last Saturday, 15 May, at the Matthews Netball Centre, together with the Premier, I was delighted to be able to announce that the Liberal–National government has allocated $26.1 million for the development of Western Australia’s long overdue state netball centre. I take this opportunity to highlight a little bit about the value of the sport of netball and the Liberal–National government’s contribution of $26.1 million to that state netball facility. Many members will be aware that netball is a huge sport in Western Australia; in fact, it is the number one participatory sport for women in Western Australia. There is no doubt that netball delivers many physical, mental and social benefits to our women and young girls throughout Western Australia. There are more than 800 affiliated netball clubs in Western Australia, approximately 30 000 registered netball players and thousands of others who play on a social basis. On any given weekend probably 100 000 people are involved in netball as players, coaches, umpires, supporters et cetera. It is an important sport. Mr M.P. Murray : That is the women’s side of things; what about the football? Several members interjected. Mr T.K. WALDRON : I tell members that there are a lot of very happy netballers and women around because they have been waiting since 2004 for members opposite to do it! We have now done it, so I rest my case. Several members interjected. The SPEAKER : Thank you, members! Mr T.K. WALDRON : One of the biggest challenges in the sport and recreation industry in our state is keeping young women in our communities engaged in physical activity, particularly throughout their teen years. Many women’s sports deliver this, and netball certainly does. Therefore, I believe that this facility and this key objective of our government will help deliver better health for our community. I just want to say on a personal level—I am sure that the Premier and the local member, the member for Churchlands, who were there on Saturday would agree—that I was pretty impressed with the thousands of kids playing their hearts out and enjoying the sport of netball at the centre. That, of course, is replicated around Western Australia. The state-of-the-art facility will include four indoor netball courts, office space for Netball WA and facilities for the West Coast Fever who will also train there. I take this opportunity to congratulate the West Coast Fever on their recent good win, and five of their members are in the Australian squad so they are doing very well. This facility will give them a base—the first base they have ever had. Also, the facility will include some of the state-of-the-art innovative designs that we have at the new athletics and basketball stadium, AK Reserve, for heating and all those types of things. As I said, member for Collie–Preston, this project has been endorsed since 2004 and now it is actually happening. The government has worked really closely with the Department of Sport and Recreation and Netball WA. A project definition plan and a comprehensive business case for the facility have been completed. Construction of this important piece of infrastructure will begin in 2011 and we will complete it as soon as we possibly can. I thank all the stakeholders involved—namely, the Department of Sport and Recreation, Netball WA, the Town of Cambridge and VenuesWest.
