Bellarine electorate
Ms NEVILLE (Bellarine) (14:41): (6507) My constituency question is to the Minister for Community Sport, and I ask: what immediate steps are being taken by her department to ensure that the City of Greater Geelong commences stage 2 construction of the Drysdale sports precinct project? This project is one of a number of community-based sporting projects that we have funded across the Bellarine, and we completed stage 1 in 2018 thanks to the state government contribution. That has provided much-welcome modern facilities for the Hawks football club, the cricket club and the soccer club in Drysdale. The precinct is also utilised by local schools who bound the area. But on stage 2, which we funded in the 2019 budget, unfortunately little has been achieved. It is to do a new soccer pitch, a multipurpose oval and pavilion and other infrastructure. The clubs have been very frustrated over the last 18 months that nothing has been done and no progress has been made, and they want to see construction start.
