Rowville electorate
Kim WELLS (Rowville) (14:57): (124) My question is to the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Major Events. Minister, when will you commit funds to fix the Knox Park car park and driveway to create a safer traffic environment for the constituents of Rowville? Knox Park is currently home to Knox Churches soccer club, which boasts 12 teams this year, as well as providing space for the Knox Obedience Dog Club, Knox Churches cricket club, Knox Athletics Club and Knox BMX. And the local CFAs conduct a lot of their training there. The traffic conditions in the park are just dangerous. The current gravel car park has been known to create potholes in the winter months and bog cars in the unstable surface. Additionally, when motorists attempt to exit the car park, they are faced with a dangerous intersection that lacks adequate road infrastructure, such as ‘Keep clear’ signs and slip lanes. Knox Park is an amazing centre point of the Rowville electorate community. It is about time the state government recognised this fact and came to the table to find a workable solution to the frankly inadequate facilities.
