I thank the honourable member for some notice of this
question.
(1) No; the
Rottnest Island golf course upgrade is currently in a project scoping phase.
(2) $140 000.
(3)‑(4) The
golf course upgrade is consistent with the Rottnest Island Management Plan 2009‑2014,
initiative 13 ''Expand Recreational Activities''. The plan for
reticulation of the golf course was developed with the executive of the
Rottnest Island Country Club and is seen as an excellent way of reusing
wastewater and improving visitor numbers to the island in the off season.
(5) Yes.
(6) Not
applicable.
