Colin BROOKS (Bundoora – Minister for Development Victoria, Minister for Precincts, Minister for Creative Industries) (19:23): The member for Croydon raised a matter tonight for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety in relation to the installation of flashing pedestrian give-way lights – I think that was the request – at Civic Square, 220 Mount Dandenong Road, Croydon, and I will make sure that that matter is passed on to the minister. The member for Kororoit raised a matter for the Minister for Community Sport, seeking the minister to provide an update on a range of investments in the community sport area in her electorate of Kororoit, and I will definitely make sure the minister gets that request. I should take the opportunity to congratulate the former Leader of the Nationals for his service to the Parliament as Leader of the Nationals. The member for Murray Plains raised a matter for the Minister for Planning to reverse changes that the member feels will make it more difficult to build small second dwellings for dependants, and I will make sure the planning minister gets that matter.

The member for Point Cook raised a matter for the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Major Events and Minister for Environment seeking a visit to Werribee Park zoo to tour the fantastic elephant enclosure that has been built out there by Development Victoria for the client minister – a great project. The member for Evelyn raised a matter for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety seeking that the minister outline detailed plans and a timeline for a project to improve the intersection of Killara Road and Maroondah Highway at Coldstream. I will make sure that that matter that relates to the Coldstream area is passed on to the minister. The member for Lara raised a matter for the Minister for Multicultural Affairs asking for an update on support for multicultural communities in the electorate of Lara. I will make sure that matter is passed on as well.

The member for Shepparton raised a matter for the Minister for Skills and TAFE in the other place asking for a plan to be provided on Shepparton GOTAFE and for them to provide a plan on continuing to deliver training in her community, amongst some changes that she has outlined. That matter will be passed on. The member for Preston raised a matter for the Minister for the Environment asking him to visit the Preston electorate to discuss a range of local environmental issues, and that matter I am sure will be picked up by the minister. The member for Benambra raised a matter for the Treasurer seeking that the Treasurer deliver an exemption for defence force members from land tax, and I will make sure that matter is passed on. The member for Glen Waverley raised a matter for the Minister for Youth asking that the minister join him in a meeting with the 2025 Glen Waverley youth advisory committee, and I am sure that the minister will do that.

The DEPUTY SPEAKER: As Jean Valjean says, one day more. The house stands adjourned until tomorrow.

House adjourned 7:26 pm.
