The document read as follows:

CHIEF MINISTER FOR THE AUSTRALIAN CAPITAL TERRITORY

QUESTION ON NOTICE

Mr Kaine

- Asked the Chief Minister on 11 March 1999 in relation to the organisation selling the corporate products at Bruce Stadium:

1. Is it not the fact that in addition to the commission which this organisation (Nationwide Venue Management) receives, that it has also received a very substantial up-front payment and can you tell us how much that up-front payment was?

2. Can the Chief Minister tell us how much commission has actually been paid to this organisation for its efforts in marketing the Stadium and can she confirm the commission for two sales to those great private sector enterprises of ACTEW and Totalcare?

Mr Kaine

- also asked the Chief Minister on 25 March 1999:

3. In relation to the contract with this marketing organisation, is it not true that there is a second contract which runs way beyond July?

Ms Carnell -

The answers to the Member's questions are as follows:

Questions 1 and 2:

. A consortium headed up by Nationwide Venue Management, a member of the Spotless group, has been engaged to undertake the sales and marketing campaign for the Bruce Stadium including the sale of naming rights, corporate suites, memberships, signage and advertising, and other items such as video board rights.

. The front-end marketing campaign is an inherent part of the Stadium operations and, as such, is part of the cost structure of the entity. Accordingly, revenues which are generated by the Stadium from the sales of tickets, suites, boxes etc cover the operating expenses which include marketing, advertising, horticultural maintenance, security, cleaning and the like.
