Mill Park electorate

Lily D’AMBROSIO (Mill Park – Minister for Climate Action, Minister for Energy and Resources, Minister for the State Electricity Commission) (09:43): I recently had the pleasure of meeting with a range of organisations in my electorate of Mill Park. On 12 May I had the opportunity to meet students from Mill Park Secondary College at the Whittlesea Tech School in Epping. They were studying the future of work. The tech school provides a variety of opportunities for students from surrounding local schools to participate in STEM learning.

Later the same day I visited the Epping Priority Primary Care Centre located near the Northern Hospital – a place to go when you need urgent care but not quite the lights and sirens. With strong cooperation from the Northern Hospital, it helps to deliver an excellent service to patients in a speedy manner.

On 26 May I had the pleasure of welcoming Minister Stitt from the other place to the Mill Park electorate to officially open the Meadowglen kindergarten, co-located with Meadowglen Primary School. This co-location makes the transition easier for many children and the drop-off simpler for parents. All of these terrific facilities and services have been funded by our government.

On National Sorry Day I attended a local Voice to Parliament town hall organised by the member for Scullin and co-hosted by Sheena Watt from the other place.

Lastly, on Saturday I attended the Victorian Tamil Association Mill Park Tamil school annual Kalai Vizha function celebrating the 2022 VCE students and their teachers. It was fantastic to participate in the lighting of the oil lamp and watch the wonderful cultural performances by the different year levels.
