Mordialloc electorate
Mr RICHARDSON (Mordialloc) (14:48): (6403) My constituency question is to the Minister for Community Sport, and my question is: when is construction expected to get underway for Mordialloc Braeside Junior Football Club’s investment in their female change room facilities? We had the opportunity to visit this wonderful local club in our community—over 25 teams now, a junior footy club in our patch, absolutely dominating—and I got to meet the under-10 girls team. It was blowing an absolute gale out at Walter Galt Reserve—it takes me back to the days. I would never have got out on the footy field; I had 15 layers on. But those wonderful teams are getting out there. It was East Malvern versus Mordi-Brae. They were doing a great job out there.
Female change facilities are so very important, and encouraging female participation in sport is everything that we support as the Andrews Labor government. More than 1000 AFL girls and women’s teams are underway now, and it is an extraordinary testament to the work that has been done across codes. It might have been too cold for some of us, but to see those legends out and about was outstanding. We cannot wait to see construction get underway, and that is my question: when will it get underway at Mordi-Brae?
