Constituency questions

Eureka electorate
Michaela SETTLE (Eureka) (14:44): (195) My question is for the Minister for Community Sport. Teesdale is a vibrant and growing town in the Golden Plains shire and has a strong sporting culture. The Teesdale Roos and local cricket club always bring a lively and passionate crowd, making the recreation reserve a real social hub for locals. I am delighted by the recent announcement in the state budget regarding the game-changing upgrade for the Teesdale rec reserve. The plan includes accessible, safe and female-friendly change rooms. This is a really exciting upgrade. We know sport brings a great sense of belonging and contributes to creating strong community bonds in a regional town. In light of this fantastic announcement, could the minister please provide information on how these female-friendly change rooms will encourage greater participation of girls and women in regional communities like Teesdale and contribute to the growth of local sports in the Golden Plains shire?
