Eltham electorate
Ms WARD (Eltham) (14:39): (6457) My constituency question is for the Deputy Premier and Minister for Transport Infrastructure. Deputy Premier, we recently marked National Tree Day, and it was so incredible to see so many people from my community volunteer their time to use their green thumbs and help plant more natives in our local wetlands at Challenger Street in Diamond Creek. A big thankyou to the Rotary Club of Eltham; Diamond Creek Men’s Shed; the awesome kids from the Eltham Scout group, Eltham Sea Scouts, Plenty Girl Guides and Craigieburn Scouts; and some former members of the Diamond Creek Scouts, who worked hard throughout the morning revegetating this lovely area. I would also like to thank Nillumbik council for organising and running this event, recognising that our community is passionate and invested in the health of our environment and waterways. Deputy Premier, can you please update my community on the Andrews Labor government’s commitment to tree planting as part of Victoria’s Big Build in my electorate of Eltham?
