Pick My Park
Katie HALL (Footscray) (17:20): (1232) My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Development Victoria and Precincts in the other place, and the action I seek is for the minister to update me on the Allan Labor government’s Pick My Park grants program, which was announced in my electorate of Footscray at the beautiful Hansen Reserve. I understand the $30 million Pick My Park project will provide funding between $20,000 and $250,000 for new parks and upgrades of existing parks. As our communities grow and more people live in higher density housing, parks become more important public open spaces for social interaction, passive and active recreation and play for people of all ages. This program will be great for my electorate of Footscray and another example of the Allan Labor government ensuring that our area is not just growing but growing well, and I look forward to the minister’s update.
