Bayswater electorate

Jackson TAYLOR (Bayswater) (14:50): (732) It is great to be here, and I am standing up now to say Boronia is the place to be, and it is about to get even better with the delivery of the new Tormore Reserve pavilion, which will support great clubs like the Boronia football netball club and the Boronia Cricket Club as well as the wider community. Last election I announced $1.2 million to help get the job done after starting the campaign with the clubs to help finally deliver the facilities they need and deserve, of course with a huge commitment of $5 million delivered by Mary Doyle, the federal Labor member for Aston. Now we are all keen to see works get underway. My constituency question is to the Minister for Community Sport: once started, when can we expect to see construction wrap up so clubs will be able to move into the new digs? This project is almost entirely fully funded, aside from a bit of operational funding from Knox council, by the state and federal Labor governments getting on and delivering for Knox. I cannot wait to see the end result of what has been years of work by the clubs. This is a continuation of record support from the Allan and Andrews Labor governments for delivery of sport locally.
