But now, with the new promotion of the stadium by the trust, we expect that it will have quite heavy usage. So a major feature of the upgrading was the provision of toilets, and those additional toilets are being provided in four separate blocks at appropriate locations around the field. The number of 16,000 clearly indicates an appropriate number for which to provide.
On occasions when it is likely that there would be the need for additional toilets we anticipate that we would be able to hire the toilets which are owned by the Canberra Festival committee and which are used quite regularly where additional toilet facilities are required.
Bruce Stadium
DR KINLOCH: Mr Speaker, my question is addressed to the Minister for Industry, Employment and Education as Minister for sport and recreation. Is he aware that the planned construction of an access road as part of the Bruce Stadium works will remove part of the main cycleway from Belconnen to O'Connor? If so, will the Minister give this Assembly an assurance that alternative arrangements will be made for the cycleway?
MR WHALAN: It is the access road to the warm-up track to which I think you are referring, rather than to the Bruce Stadium.
Dr Kinloch: Yes, the phrase was "the Bruce Stadium works" - the whole thing.
MR WHALAN: Yes, it is an access road which will be taken around the southern side of the warm-up track to provide access to the redeveloped grandstand and office facilities, change rooms and that sort of thing. The fact is that that cycle-pathway is not officially gazetted; it is an unofficial cycle-pathway and I understand - and I will confirm this and let Dr Kinloch know - that steps are under way to regazette and make official the cycle-pathway in that area. It may not be in exactly the same location, but it will certainly provide the same general route for cyclists to follow. I will check on that and let him know.
Union Ban
MS FOLLETT: At the beginning of questions without notice Mr Kaine asked me a question about the possibility of TWU bans on this building. I have been provided with some advice by my staff on that matter. While there are currently no bans on this building, there is indeed some concern that they may be instigated, and currently discussions are going on between the union, the TWU, and the Administration officials to try to resolve the matter.
