Sam GROTH (Nepean) (14:50): (548) My question is to the Minister for Children. Waterfall Gully kindergarten is one of the largest sessional kinders in my electorate, servicing about 150 families. Their three-year-old kinder room was licensed to hold 15 children, but high demand led to their sunroom being transformed from an outdoor space to an indoor space, allowing the kinder to have 22 children in that room at any one time. However, the sunroom facility faced issues with flooding, leaving it regularly out of action and forcing the other room to be full beyond the approved capacity. Local council initially undertook works to try and remedy this issue, but unfortunately the flooding soon returned with heavy downpours. Sadly, despite further works being desperately needed, council has gone quiet on plans to rectify this ongoing issue. When will the government intervene to ensure that those families with children at Waterfall Gully kindergarten have the facilities that their children need?
