CORINTHIAN PARK TENNIS CLUB — ELECTION COMMITMENT
360. Dr D.J. HONEY to the Minister for Local Government:
Thank you very much, Madam Speaker.
I refer to the front page of the Canning Gazette , which highlights that
the Corinthian Park Tennis Club in Shelley
is left in limbo because it has not received the $160 000 election commitment from WA Labor.
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER : Order, please,
members!
Dr D.J. HONEY : Is it the role
of local government to use ratepayers' money —
Several members interjected.
The SPEAKER : I would like to
hear the question in silence, please. You can start again or continue from
where you are, member.
Dr D.J. HONEY : Thank you very
much, Madam Speaker. Is it the role of the local government to use ratepayers'
money to provide bridging finance to clubs that have not received WA Labor's
election commitments, as bizarrely requested by the member for Riverton at a recent
council meeting?

I thank the member for the question.
I do not know the history of this issue. Obviously, as a government, we made a large
number of local election commitments that we are seeking to deliver across Western
Australia as speedily as possible. But in relation to the specific dynamics of
any particular project, I would be happy to follow that up after question time.
