MEMORIAL DRIVE TENNIS FACILITIES

Mr VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart) (14:32): My question is also to the Minister for Recreation and Sport. Can the minister advise what provision is being made for the Tennis SA and Memorial Drive tennis facilities to operate without interruption while the Adelaide Oval is upgraded?

The Hon. T.R. KENYON (Newland—Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills, Minister for Science and Information Economy, Minister for Recreation and Sport) (14:32): Those negotiations are ongoing. We have been talking to Tennis SA. I met with Tennis SA and Tennis Australia in Melbourne in January, and I was very pleased to spend some time with them. They outlined what they see as the future for their sport in South Australia. We are very pleased to work with them as the time goes on. I am happy to seek a fuller explanation for the member for Stuart if he would like some detail on that, and I am also happy to arrange a briefing with the SMA if that suits him.
