What I'll do is answer the question. The delivery of the grant is, of course, a matter for the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications, Sport and the Arts. The Inner West Council confirmed to last week's Senate inquiry that they are currently finalising the design of the entire project, including improvements to the clubhouse, stormwater harvesting, a new toilet and landscaping. This is a grant to Inner West Council as a result of an election commitment made on 27 April 2025 as part of the renovation of the clubhouse to boost the health of the Cooks River, at which the building and securing the Marrickville Golf Club precinct announcement was made. Sewerage issues are a longstanding concern on this site. I'm advised that in September 2025—that is, after we had made the commitment—the New South Wales government committed funding towards the sewerage related aspects of the club. That is investment which is welcome.
