MINISTER FOR URBAN SERVICES

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION NO 337

Erindale Centre - Skating Area

Mr Wood - asked the Minister for Urban Services - Given that the Erindale Skating area (the Snake Pit) has been newly developed:

(1) What money has been allocated for extra lighting for this area given that it is also a main public thoroughfare.

(2) When will this extra lighting be installed.

Mr De Domenico - the answer to the Member's question is as follows:

(1) No funds were allocated as part of the recent upgrading project which was specifically aimed at improving the skating surface to meet the needs of skaters and removing some of the original dilapidated structure.

(2) An investigation of the standard of public lighting is being carried out now by Works and Commercial Services and, dependent on the result of this study, additional lighting will be provided this financial year as part of the "Sportsground Floodlighting" project administered by the Bureau of Sport, Recreation and Racing.
