Development—Lyneham
(Question No 890)

Mr Stefaniak asked the Minister for Sport and Recreation, upon notice, on 15 February 2006:

(1) Given that a masterplan was completed on Southall Park/Lyneham precinct two years ago yet no money has been allocated to make progress on the next stages of the development, except some $200 000 for further planning activities, when does the Government intend advancing this project;

(2) What will the next stage involve, when will it start and what amount of money is apportioned to each stage.

Mr Quinlan: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1) A draft Masterplan was completed for the proposed Lyneham Sport and Recreation Precinct in mid-2004. Community consultation regarding the draft Masterplan was subsequently undertaken from December 2004 to February 2005. To advance the project, the 2005/06 Budget allocated $200,000 to commence a necessary planning study for the Precinct.

(2) Work has commenced on the development of a planning study for the proposed Precinct. Costings are still being finalised.
