Sport—sportsgrounds electricity use
(Question No 714)

Mr Doszpot asked the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Recreation, upon notice, on 18 March 2010:

(1) How much electricity was used for each ACT Government sporting facility and at what cost.

(2) How much of the electricity use referred to in part (1) was for lighting.

(3) How much (a) potable and (b) non-potable water was used to maintain ACT sports grounds and what was the cost for this in 2008-09.

Mr Barr: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1) In 2008/09 the cost of the total consumption of electricity at all ACT Government sportsgrounds was $185,997.05. The attached twenty page spreadsheet (Electricity Accounts and Invoice Amounts for 2008-2009) shows the cost at each facility.

(2) ACT Government Sportsgrounds do not have dedicated metering of floodlighting systems at all grounds and therefore the amount of electricity consumed specifically for floodlighting is not available.
