Leisure Events Bid Fund

641 The Hon. Z.L. BETTISON (Ramsay) (25 August 2021). What is the breakdown of funding that has been allocated to each project funded by the Leisure Events Bid Fund in the 2020-21 period and the planned allocation for the 2021-22 period?

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

The details of sponsorship payments for events are subject to contractual confidentiality restrictions, and therefore cannot be disclosed.

Further, the information has commercial value to the South Australian Tourism Commission and third parties, and disclosure of the information could reasonably be expected to diminish or destroy its commercial value.

Disclosing this information would also prejudice the future supply of such information as it would reveal third parties' highly sensitive commercial and financial information. This would place third parties at a significant disadvantage in a competitive event sector and in turn, weaken the state's competitiveness in securing new events.
