Springbank Secondary College

In reply to Mr DULUK (Waite) (10 November 2020).

The Hon. J.A.W. GARDNER (Morialta—Minister for Education): I have been advised of the following:

The stadium at Springbank Secondary College was constructed in 2001 as a partnership between the then peak body for basketball in South Australia, Basketball Association of South Australia, and the Department for Education.

A long-term joint use agreement was established at that time to allow the community and basketball clubs to use the facility outside of school hours. This agreement has since transferred to Basketball SA, being the current peak basketball organisation in the state, and provides Basketball SA with the ability to allow the use of the stadium by the Sturt Sabres Basketball Club. Since the opening of the facility, the club has used the stadium as their home base.

Basketball SA's long-term agreement for the stadium is due to expire in 2021. Following consideration of a request from Basketball SA to exercise its option to extend the term of the agreement for a further 20 years, this has been granted.

The extension of the agreement will allow Basketball SA to continue discussions with the Sturt Sabres Basketball Club for continued use of the facility as its home base
