Achieving Government aspirations, Tourism and Visitation

This proposal is fundamental to achieving the ACT Governments Strategy for economic growth over the next decade and beyond through increasing tourism, event visitation and stamping Canberra as a destination of choice from regional, national and international centres. In addition:

1. Affected and interested parties share a common goal in seeing (a new stadium and convention centre in the city) this happen
2. The Territory has to have the support of the Commonwealth to achieve these objectives
3. The Territory has been the subject of , effectively, and Infrastructure/Capital drought for the last decade with less than 25% of per capita Capital funding granted (compared) to other States and Territories
4. The proposed land transfer is the most cost effective way for the funding to be released through a PPP delivery model without adversely affecting the Budget bottom line for either the Territory and or the Commonwealth
5. The concept of a City East Entertainment Precinct is consistent with the Burley Griffin Plan and specifically contemplated in the drawings that support that Plan.
