WESTERN Australian premier Colin Barnett is poised to make an announcement on the development of a new outdoor sports stadium.
Tourism Minister Dr Liz Constable told a packed audience full of members of the travel and tourism industry at the Hyatt on Wednesday to ``watch this space’’ when quizzed about the new stadium.
``This is something that Colin Barnett has taken on and all I can say is… watch this space,’’ she said.
In 2008, then premier Alan Carpenter announced that $1.1 billion would be spent on a new stadium, with Kitchener Park as the preferred location.
However, when Mr Barnett took on the top job, he put a stop to progress on those plans, saying more time needed to be spent to consider options.
The old East Perth Power Station site continues to pop us a viable option for a new stadium and representatives of Burswood say that James Packer is still interested in considering an option for a new stadium on, or near his land.
