 Meng Heang TAK (Clarinda) (15:54): Thank you to the voters of Clarinda. I am extremely humbled and proud to be re-elected as your member for Clarinda. Together we have achieved a lot since 2018, and I am very excited for the opportunity over the next four years to continue delivering for our community – delivering a strong and positive government agenda. Thank you to everyone that came out to participate in the democratic process – voting, campaigning, observing and otherwise. There are some really exciting new commitments for our district: a $12.45 million upgrade to Clayton South Primary School, which will see a rebuild of the main classroom wing and new playground; more than $500 million to massively upgrade Monash Medical Centre, delivering a new operating theatre complex, intensive care unit and birthing suites; Kingston fields, with $1 million secured for the master plan for a sporting precinct in Kingston, delivering new sports and recreation facilities that the whole community can be proud of; and more support for the Keysborough Learning Centre, Greek Victorians, Vietnamese Victorians, the Springvale Lunar New Year Festival and Alex Wilkie and Alex Nelson reserves – amazing. Thank you again to all my constituents, volunteers, colleagues and friends for all of your support. I will continue to work hard to serve our community and deliver the support that we need.
