I recently attended at PD sessions in Perth at DSR (as my position is funded by them) and we were briefed by Ronnie Hurst who leads the Major Stadia Taskforce for DSR on the new stadium issue. Basically they are still pushing the government for a brand new stadium at Kitchener due to lots of restrictions with gradual rebuilds and the like e.g. need to realign roberts road etc if go down that path. They are constantly in talks with government etc so situation is far from settled. As he put it it took the previous government almost 18 months to make a decision on the new stadium after the stadium taskforce report was received by them so would expect similiar from new government. Unfortunately no mention of rectangle stadium and wasnt in the right forum to bring it up.
Also did a tour of new athletics and basketball stadiums at AK Reserve with two project officers from DSR looking after it. I managed to drill them about rugby stadium and basically proposed site is dead due to cost to bring up to EPA standards etc. They indicated basically still going through planning process in regards to rugby but are looking at McGillvray Oval as admin centre with additional training facilities - where they didnt mention but would presume around the same area.
