Mount Waverley Reserve master plan

Mr FREGON (Mount Waverley) (17:14): (6333) My adjournment matter this evening is for the Minister for Community Sport, and the action I seek is for the minister to commit funding to help deliver the Mount Waverley Reserve master plan. The Andrews Labor government funded the development of the master plan in the 2019 budget, and since then Monash council has completed work on the plan for the upgrade of this important community facility. I was at the reserve yesterday with the deputy leader of the Labor Party, Richard Marles, and our fantastic Labor candidate for Chisholm, Carina Garland, to hear that an Albanese Labor government will commit $3 million towards the delivery of the Mount Waverley Reserve master plan. We were joined by mayor Stuart James and Cr Brian Little from Monash council as well as David Grossman, president of the Mount Waverley Cricket Club; Steven Pewtress, president of the Waverley Blues Football Netball Club; and many excited members of these clubs. This is an opportunity for a fantastic partnership with all levels of government and the locals of our area working towards this shared vision and delivering for our community, and I look forward to the minister’s response.
