Tarneit electorate
Dylan WIGHT (Tarneit) (14:48): (1213) My question is to the Minister for Education. How will the new schools and community spaces pilot program help unlock more community spaces in my electorate of Tarneit? I was excited to hear the minister announce $1.4 million to fund a dedicated support team to facilitate community use of school spaces. Since I was elected in 2022 we have already built five brand new schools in Tarneit. These schools boast world-class facilities, including top-quality indoor and outdoor sporting grounds and purpose-built classroom spaces. These are fantastic public assets, and opening them up for the entire community helps ensure they are used to their fullest potential. The pilot program will help unlock more of these schools for after-school activities like sports, language and music classes and other community-run programs. Of the 41 schools participating in the pilot, seven are in my electorate: Tarneit Rise Primary School, Davis Creek Primary School, Karwan Primary School, Nearnung Primary School, Brinbeal Secondary College, Wimba Primary School and Barayip Primary School.
