Legislative Council Fifty-Fifth Parliament, First Session (55-1) 55 1 Parliament of South Australia Legislative Council published Question Time Summit Sport and Recreation Park Summit Sport and Recreation Park The Hon. S.L. GAME Legislative Council Summit Sport and Recreation Park The Hon. S.L. GAME (15:05): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before directing a question to the Attorney-General, representing the Treasurer, regarding the $23 million Summit Sport and Recreation Park in Mount Barker. Leave granted. The Hon. S.L. GAME Legislative Council The Hon. S.L. GAME: Last week's Mount Barker Courier carried a front-page report stating that the park's premier oval and change rooms are largely unused. The paper had previously reported the facility would no longer host cricket matches, and that the local football club and the entire league had ceased holding matches there. Last week, the Courier also ran a report on a budget hole and an operating deficit at the park, plus comments from five stakeholders who all expressed concerns about the costs of using the facility. My question to the Attorney-General, representing the Treasurer, is: given the government provided $3.775 million funding to the Summit, will it commit to advising Mount Barker council about adopting an alternative management strategy, one that ensures taxpayers and local ratepayers get better value for money rather than stand accused of funding a white elephant? The Hon. K.J. MAHER Legislative Council Minister for Aboriginal Affairs Attorney-General Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, Attorney-General, Minister for Industrial Relations and Public Sector) (15:06): I thank the honourable member for her question, and I am happy to pass that on to the relevant minister or, as the case may be, ministers in another place, and bring back a reply.
