Constituency questions

Box Hill electorate


Box Hill electorate

Paul HAMER (Box Hill) (14:53): (309) My constituency question is to the Minister for Community Sport. What is the latest information on the proposed upgrades to netball and cricket facilities at Springfield Park in Box Hill North? In this year’s budget the Andrews government committed $1.5 million to this very worthwhile investment in our local community and, as the minister knows, this was an election commitment that we took to the 2022 election. There is enormous excitement and anticipation from all members of the Whitehorse Colts Junior Football and Netball Club, the Whitehorse Pioneers Football and Netball Club and the Kerrimuir United Cricket Club to see this project completed. A lot of fantastic people at those clubs have advocated tirelessly for these upgrades over that time, and I want to again pass on my special thanks to Melissa Collard, Pat Marulli, Sam Benson and Cr Blair Barker as well as Netball Victoria and the many others who have helped along the way.

The SPEAKER: Order! The house will now return to the Bail Amendment Bill 2023. Before I call the member for Brunswick, I will be reviewing today’s constituency questions to ensure that they are in order. There were some that I was a little sceptical about.
