(1) Yes, however a detailed financial request has not been received therefore no commitment has been made or considered.
(2) Government representatives have held preliminary discussions with the WAFC regarding future uses of Subiaco Oval. However, the Stadium steering committee has been provided with clear direction to focus on the planning for the new stadium with the future use of Subiaco to be addressed at a later date.
