As I said, when this funding commitment was made in April 2025, part of the commitment included sewerage works. In September 2025, the New South Wales government stepped in to fund the sewerage related aspects of the club, as they were pressing. Last week, the Inner West Council confirmed that they are currently finalising the design of the entire project, including improvements to the clubhouse, stormwater harvesting and a new toilet and landscaping. These works, delivered through the program, will be complementary to those funded by the New South Wales government. The decision brief for this project, which we've released for transparency, shows that funding for this project was assessed by my department against the criteria publicly available and found to have value for money. Unlike those opposite, we are delivering our election commitments in a transparent way and not allowing Pauline Hanson to stand up and award people cheques in Rockhampton.
