Constituency questions

Rowville electorate


Rowville electorate

Kim WELLS (Rowville) (14:40): (88) My question is to the Minister for Youth. Minister, why is it that the Andrews Labor government is providing vast amounts of funding to improve Scout halls across the state and yet the two Scout halls in my electorate of Rowville are yet to see any of the $5.5 million allocated by the state government? The neighbouring Labor electorate of Bayswater’s Scout hall has received $100,000 worth of upgrades, and yet neither 1st Rowville nor 1st Wantirna South Scouts have received a cent of funding to upgrade their ageing halls. It is time the Andrews Labor government stopped playing partisan politics when it comes to funding local Scout hall upgrades and finally provided Rowville and Wantirna South with the funding that they deserve.
