For more than a decade, our community has very patiently awaited the redevelopment of the ageing clubrooms and community centre at Heathridge Park in my electorate. The complex is more than 40 years old and ill-equipped to meet the needs of 2½ thousand regular users. The facility is used by 16 sporting and recreational clubs as a home ground, and 25 community groups use the building and the nearby Guy Daniel Clubroom.

I am pleased to inform the parliament that the City of Joondalup has now progressed the Heathridge Park master plan to the next stage of community consultation. There have been four design options developed for presentation to the community for feedback, ranging from full to partial redevelopment. The cost estimates for a project of this scale range from $15 million to $20 million, requiring funding contributions from all three levels of government. To date, a commitment of $2½ million from the WA state government has been secured by the member for Joondalup, Emily Hamilton MLA, to anchor the project. Moving forward, I am fully committed to working closely with the City of Joondalup and the state government to secure the remainder of the funding necessary to deliver this much-needed landmark sporting and community facility.
