 Meng Heang TAK (Clarinda) (19:09): (1244) My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Community Sport, and the action I seek is for the minister to provide the latest update on the Heatherton Football Netball Club budget commitment of up to $70,000 for the electronic scoreboard. Congratulations again to the Heatherton Football Netball Club on this year’s budget commitment, a significant commitment of up to $70,000 for an electronic scoreboard and new and upgraded match day facilities supporting players, volunteers and the wider community to enjoy local sport at its best. It is a fantastic result for the club and for our community. It was great to see players, supporters, sponsors and community leaders coming together at the club for the sportsman’s lunch last Saturday. I understand that it was a fantastic celebration of the club and its contribution to the community. Doug Hawkins as guest speaker also was a highlight.

Thank you once again to Warrick Earle and the club officials for the invitation and for having my team there on Saturday. Heatherton Football Netball Club is an amazing local sporting club, an inclusive and welcoming club that brings families together throughout the year. This is why I am extremely proud of this budget investment. There are wins everywhere in the budget, which has been very well received by residents, and that is because it is a budget from a government focused on what matters most for Victorians. Thank you once again to the Heatherton Football Netball Club and to all of our local clubs for the incredible impact they have in building our thriving and inclusive community in Clarinda and across the south-east. Thank you to the minister. I look forward to your response.
