Williamstown electorate sporting clubs

Melissa HORNE (Williamstown – Minister for Casino, Gaming and Liquor Regulation, Minister for Local Government, Minister for Ports and Freight, Minister for Roads and Road Safety) (09:54): Finally, with Hobsons Bay City Council starting to set their budget for the upcoming year I was really pleased to lend my support to two key petitions: one for Altona East Phoenix Soccer Club to upgrade their facilities at Paisley Park and one for Newport Storm to upgrade their facilities at AW Bond Reserve. These are two clubs that are going through enormous growth, but their facilities have not kept pace with the needs in the community. Keeping communities actively engaged in sport by creating a safe and welcoming environment for everyone to be involved is absolutely paramount, and I am proud to lend my support to these two key clubs in my community.
