MADAM SPEAKER: A supplementary question, Mr Gentleman.
MR GENTLEMAN: Minister, what will be the benefits for the community of the upgrades of Woden oval?
MR BARR: There will be a new athletics track. The oval will be upgraded—floodlights, automatic sprinkler facilities. All of that work commenced in January 2014. It is progressing well and it is expected that this portion of the works will be completed in the third quarter of 2014. There will be further works in coming financial years in relation to further upgrades of the facility. It is an important boost to athletics. It is an important boost to the Woden town centre and a very good project for the community.
