CANBERRA ACT 2601
Dear Mr Stanhope
On checking the Hansard of 2 July during debate on the Budget I note I referred to the cost of Bruce Stadium as being about $1750 per seat.
As Members will be aware, debate on the costs of Bruce Stadium later that evening resulted in the passage of a Bill to provide an additional $22.4 million, taking the total to $34.7 million for the construction costs of the stadium. This is a cost of $1388 per seat, not the figure I had inadvertently used earlier.
If any confusion arose as a result of my above comments I apologise for it.
Bill Stefaniak MLA
