Ms RYAN (Euroa) (11:36): (728) My question is to the Minister for Regional Development in the other place. How can community groups such as the Goorambat action group obtain funding to upgrade projects like their toilet facilities now that the government has axed the $1 billion Regional Growth Fund? More than 60 000 people visited Goorambat last year as they looked at the north-east silo art trail, but the community does not have any public toilets. The Goorambat hall is an old mechanics institute hall on Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) land. The community would like to upgrade the hall toilets to include disability access and to make them accessible from the outside. Because the hall is on DELWP land, council is reluctant to fund the project. It was for this reason that The Nationals established the Putting Locals First funding stream under the $1 billion Regional Growth Fund. Now that Labor has abolished the Regional Growth Fund and is sacking regional development staff, I fear communities like Goorambat will struggle to find the funding they need.
