Gippsland South electorate

Danny O’BRIEN (Gippsland South) (14:47): (512) My question is to the Premier, and I ask on behalf of my constituents in Mirboo North: as part of the recovery from the recent storm event in Mirboo North, will the government fund a new Mirboo North fire station, the long-awaited stadium at the Mirboo North secondary and primary schools and the rehabilitation of the swimming pool, which was also raised by the Leader of the Opposition yesterday?

Kim Wells interjected.

Danny O’BRIEN: Wells Road does need a fair bit of work, member for Rowville. The fire station I have been campaigning on for years. The Premier just talked about how she proudly handed over keys to a new truck. Mirboo North, among a number of other stations in my electorate, cannot get new trucks because their stations are old and too small to accommodate the size of the new trucks. Both the fire station and the stadium are critical projects for this community and would be very, very welcome as part of a recovery from the storm events last week.
