In this instance, I do not believe that it would be appropriate to divert resources from other priority activities for the purposes of answering the Member's question.
Sport—Boomanulla Oval
(Question No 2394)
Mr Milligan asked the Minister for Sport and Recreation, upon notice, on 22 March 2019:
(1) Can the Minister confirm when Boomanulla oval will be open for community use.
(2) Can the Minister clarify the bookings process for Boomanulla oval.
(3) Can the Minister clarify if priority or weighting will be given to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander related activities at Boomanulla oval; if so, how this will occur.
(4) Can the Minister clarify the current management structure for Boomanulla oval.
Ms Berry: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
(1) The refurbished buildings and surrounds are now available for booking for community use. The grass oval is being refurbished to enable formal sporting use and is expected to be available for use from late May 2019.
(2) Enquiries and bookings may be made by contacting the TCCS Sportsground Booking Office on 6207 5141 or via email at sportsgrounds@act.gov.au.
(3) Yes. Noting the significance of Boomanulla Oval to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community, booking preference is given to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander-related activities.
(4) Boomanulla Oval is currently managed in a similar way to an enclosed sporting oval by the ACT Government through the Transport Canberra and City Services Directorate as an interim measure whilst a model for returning the oval to community management is developed with the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elected Body.
Parking—Palmerston shops
(Question No 2395)
Mr Milligan asked the Minister for City Services, upon notice, on 22 March 2019:
(1) What is the expected commencement and completion date of implementing the changes to parking arrangements at Palmerston shops as put forward within the consultation plan for Palmerston shops dated 3 July 2018 that was conducted by Transport Canberra and City Services Directorate.
(2) Can the Minister provide detail of the exact changes that will be made to parking arrangements at Palmerston shops.
