I thank the member for the question.
The following information has been provided to me by the Minister for Racing and
Gaming.
(1) Yes. I table the plan.
[See paper 1622.]
(2) Not applicable.
(3) A
high-level summary is available online, as well as the call for submissions on
the strategies identified for each code and the associated presentations dated
February 2017, which provide more detailed information on the racing code
strategic plans.
(4) The
high-level summary appears at the address that will form part of the answer in
the document that I have tabled. Likewise, the address for the strategic racing
plans will.
(5) Racing and
Wagering Western Australia conducts regular open consultation sessions with the
racing industry throughout the state, including in regional centres, to provide
the opportunity for industry feedback and updates, including on the racing code
strategic plans. The most recent of these sessions were conducted in May 2018.
Additionally, RWWA conducts regular consultation with eligible bodies at
consultative meetings and racing committees, and any member of those eligible
bodies can contact their representative for any information, including code
plan updates. This is in accordance with section 82(2) of the Racing and
Wagering Western Australia Act 2003. A summary of the high-level objectives is
also available online.
