 Nicole WERNER (Warrandyte) (09:51): I rise today to speak in support of the Park Orchards Chalet. The 96-year-old chalet is a unique example of Spanish architecture from the 1920s and had a key role in helping the Australian Army in World War II. During the war the army chose the chalet as a suitable space for a wireless interception and signal station and an espionage training school. The chalet is not only historically important but important to my community in Park Orchards; therefore I echo the calls from the Park Orchards Ratepayers Association and their secretary David Connolly to save the Park Orchards Chalet.
