Epping North Scout hall
Bronwyn HALFPENNY (Thomastown) (09:55): I was very excited to open on Sunday on behalf of the Minister for Youth the brand new Epping North Scout hall. The opening celebration was together with the Scout members; Laura, one of the Scout leaders; and of course long-time friends and activists in the area Cara Horner and Thomas Di Palma. The Allan Labor government provided $600,000 plus the land at Edgars Creek secondary school to build this important piece of infrastructure. While buildings are important, it is the people and the work that is done in and outside the building that really counts. The building just makes it easier and demonstrates the government’s commitment to residents in the outer suburbs of Epping North and Wollert. I will just give a big shout-out to the fantastic work they do with young people in the area, in a growing suburb that really does not have a lot for young people to do at all different stages of their youth.
