Country sport under the microscope

"Sport and Recreation Minister Terry Waldron opened the administration centre for the South West Academy of Sport in Bunbury and released the review of sport and recreation in regional Western Australia. The report, authored by Albany MLA Peter Watson, identified opportunities for improving the delivery of sport and recreation in country WA. One of its findings was the need for more regionally-based talent identification and development programs. Mr Waldron said the opening of the South West Academy of Sport office was an important first step towards addressing this need - ensuring scholarship holders received the most professional level of preparation without having to leave the South-West."
