The Liberals responded this morning pledging just $25 million in State Government xjmtzywfunds towards a new “$75 million – $85 million” facility.
The remaining money would come from the Adelaide City Council and Federal Government, the latter of which is yet to make a funding commitment for the project.
Council would also continue to operate the facility under the Liberals’ proposal, which Treasurer Rob Lucas claims will save taxpayers $2 million in operating costs each year.
“There is no doubt that the Adelaide City Council and the Federal Government should be co-funding this community facility – it is not and should not be the sole responsibility of South Australian taxpayers,” he said in a statement.
