Narre Warren South electorate

Gary MAAS (Narre Warren South) (14:39): (1151) My constituency question is for the Minister for Creative Industries and concerns the Creative Neighbourhoods Infrastructure Support Program. Minister, how does this program support creatives and the broader community in my electorate of Narre Warren South? I know that the mechanics hall in Narre Warren was recently transformed into an artists hub, and I know that artists need the required space to create. As someone who was once and is still very interested in the creative industries, I also understand the impact that the arts have on the wellbeing and the social fabric of our community. So to that end, I am pleased that our Labor government also recognises this impact and is committed to supporting our artists to develop and share their work for the benefit of our community. I look forward to sharing the minister’s response with my community.
