Leisure Events Bid Fund

640 The Hon. Z.L. BETTISON (Ramsay) (25 August 2021). How many projects funded by the Leisure Events Bid Fund in the 2020-21 period have never been held in South Australia before?

The Hon. S.S. MARSHALL (Dunstan—Premier): I have been advised:

In 2020-21, there were 10 projects that had not been held in South Australia before.

It is important to note that events such as NRL State of Origin, which is secured for a second time some years down the track, are the result of new negotiations and are secured based on the economic, marketing and social benefits they deliver for South Australia.
