WA:Burswood likely site for Perth stadium

Premier COLIN BARNETT says a new football stadium for Perth is likely to be built at
Burswood .. just across the Swan River from the CBD.

But he says a final decision on the site .. size and timing of the new stadium won't
be made until mid-year.

Mr BARNETT's told ABC Radio there won't be any announcement about a stadium in the
forthcoming West Australian budget in May .. though funding will be set aside to do initial
engineering tests at the sites and perhaps initial designs.

The government has been looking at three different sites for a new stadium .. including
several different locations within the Burswood precinct.
