 Nathan LAMBERT (Preston) (14:53): (975) My question is for the Minister for Transport Infrastructure, and my question is: what is the process for naming the two playgrounds built as part of this Labor government’s Preston Bell Street level crossing removal project? As local residents know, there is a great new playground down near Showers Street in the fantastic member for Northcote’s electorate. It has a slide, some small hills and some great First Nations artwork by Alex Kerr and Lewis Wandin-Bursill, and then there is a second playground at our end of Bruce Street with a wider range of equipment for older children. But the challenge faced by parents when they are organising play dates and parties is that those playgrounds do not have names. If you look them up on Google Maps, it just says ‘playground’, which is a little difficult to search for. That is also a problem for early childhood centres, who are required to put down a specific name when organising excursions under their regulation. So any information that the minister could provide to us on how to get the two playgrounds named would be greatly appreciated.
