COLLIE MOTORPLEX
626. Hon COLIN HOLT to the Leader of the House representing
the Minister for Sport and Recreation:
I refer to the Collie Motorplex.
(1) What funding
has been allocated to the Collie Motorplex by the McGowan government? Please
provide a yearly breakdown of the amount, source and purpose of the funds.
(2) Is the
minister aware that a national racing event will be held in the motorplex in
September and that urgent funding is required to complete the upgrades in time
for the event?
(3) If these
funds are not provided, is the minister concerned that the event could be at
risk of being lost?
(4) Given the motorplex is a large economic driver for
Collie and the south west, will the McGowan government commit to
providing funds for the continual improvement of the complex; and, if not, why not?
Hon SUE
ELLERY replied:
I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
We had a conversation behind the
Chair about this. The honourable member is aware that the minister is not
available to provide an answer today, but I give an undertaking that we will
provide an answer as soon as possible.
