Sports Facilities

Ms BEDFORD (Florey) (15:03): My question is to the Minister for Recreation and Sport. Will the minister, in association with the Minister for Education, work to allow future access to education department land so that it can be made available for community sporting club use, particularly after hours and on weekends?

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing) (15:04): I thank the member for Florey for a very good question. The short answer is yes; I think that's a wonderful idea. The Minister for Education and I have spoken about this at length, and we will be very keen to work with sporting clubs and schools that want to engage to do that because you are right: getting people out, getting them active and getting them participating in sport is vital for our community to keep young people, in particular, healthy.

The SPEAKER: Supplementary, member for Florey.
