Attached is the response to the Legislative Assembly Question Without Notice Taken on Notice asked by you on Thursday 2 March 2000 regarding Media facilities at Bruce Stadium.

Should you have any queries regarding the above please do not hesitate to contact me.

Kate Carnell MLA

Chief Minister

Mr Osborne - Asked the Chief Minister on 2 March 2000:

Chief Minister, you may have to take this on notice, but could you find out whether anyone involved in the development of Bruce Stadium had any meetings with any sections of the media prior to redevelopment? Could you let us know whether they did, when they met, and if any minutes were taken, could you table those minutes?

Ms Carnell - The answer to the Members question is as follows:

There was a series of User Committee Workshops with different user groups at the Stadium. One in relation to media facilities was conducted on Tuesday 20 May 1997 at 10.30am, which was 3 months before construction commenced.

Invitations to attend were sent to a variety of media groups and included:

AAP Owen Brown

Ground Announcer Martin Goss

2CN Tim Gavel

PRIME TV Phil Lynch

WIN TV Phil Small

CAPITAL Peter Chapman

The agenda for this meeting is attached including the summary of the requirements discussed in the media value management workshop.

Also a series of design review meetings were held, one on Wednesday 22 July 1998 reviewing Event/Media facilities. At this meeting it was resolved to allocate the space from 2 corporate suites for the media, leave the event control area on level 4 and areas previously allocated to the media on level 4 remain for private dining.

The minutes for this meeting are attached.
