Public Works Committee: Adelaide Super-Drome Upgrade

Mr CREGAN (Kavel) (11:02): I move:

That the 121st report of the committee for the Fifty-Fourth Parliament, entitled Adelaide Super-Drome Upgrade Project, be noted.

Mr Speaker, as you know, the Adelaide Super-Drome is the central feature of State Sports Park at Gepps Cross and was opened in 1993. It has not been upgraded since. The Adelaide Super-Drome is the premier competition venue for track cycling and hosting state, national and international events. The Adelaide Super-Drome is also the home to the Australian Cycling Team and hosts training and events for the South Australian Sports Institute, AusCycling SA, and cycling clubs and accommodation activities in its corporate and track and field areas.

Off track, the Adelaide Super-Drome includes change rooms, workshops, offices, storage areas, spectator entry, catering and seating areas. The Super-Drome is being upgraded in a partnership between the state government and the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS). The scope of works comprises the construction of the new National Centre for Sports Aerodynamics (NCSA), new track heating and lighting, a new digital timing and video system, security upgrade, infield fence, roof repairs and PV solar energy system. Once completed, these upgrades will enable the venue to retain its UCI accreditation for international events.

The total project budget is $11.9 million, consisting of $9.8 million in funding from the state government and $2.1 million in funding from the AIS. Once completed, the upgrade of the Adelaide Super-Drome, including the addition of the NCSA, will improve facilities and opportunities for cycling and other sports activities, provide important economic benefits for Adelaide and the region and provide important social and wellbeing benefits. Project works will be undertaken progressively in conjunction with Cycling Australia's Olympic training program, with final completion expected in December 2021.

The committee examined written evidence from the Department for Education in relation to this project, advising that the project proposal has been subject to the appropriate consultation. The committee is satisfied that the proposal has been subject to the appropriate agency consultation and does meet the criteria for the examination of projects as described in the Parliamentary Committees Act 1991. Based on the evidence considered and pursuant to section 12C of the act, the Public Works Committee reports to parliament that it recommends the scope of the proposed public works that I have described to the house.

Motion carried.
