AAMI STADIUM

131 Mr HAMILTON-SMITH (Waite—Leader of the Opposition) (30 September 2008).

1. Will the $100 million grant for the AAMI Stadium redevelopment be the final amount that will be contributed by the government and why wasn't this funding predicated on matching SANFL funding, and is there a further commonwealth contribution forthcoming?

2. Will this be enough to bring AAMI Stadium up to FIFA standard?

The Hon. M.J. WRIGHT (Lee—Minister for Police, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing):

1. The decision by government to provide a grant of $100 million towards the redevelopment of AAMI Stadium followed consideration of a detailed business case presented to government by the SANFL. The business case also outlined the significant range of benefits to the state.

There is no immediate intention of providing further contributions towards the redevelopment of AAMI Stadium.

The government recognises that the SANFL has already and will continue to contribute significant resources towards the redevelopment and maintenance of AAMI Stadium. The SANFL's desire to provide the South Australian community with a world class sports and entertainment stadium is commendable.

Questions regarding Commonwealth contributions toward this particular redevelopment should be addressed to the Federal Government.

2. An intended outcome in the redevelopment project is to develop AAMI Stadium to FIFA requirements.
