Narre Warren South electorate sporting infrastructure
Gary MAAS (Narre Warren South) (19:11): (1305) The adjournment matter I wish to raise is for the Minister for Community Sport and concerns sports infrastructure upgrades in my electorate of Narre Warren South. The action that I seek is that the minister provides an update on the progress of these projects in my electorate. I recently had the pleasure of representing the minister for the opening of the Hampton Park Bowls Club, where the members were excited for their upgraded clubrooms. Grassroots sport is an important part of the wellbeing of our communities, and memberships have been growing, especially with an incredible increase in participation in women’s sport. Excitingly, there are several more developments underway, which have been backed by both the Victorian government and the City of Casey. I am sure that the Hampton Park Tennis Club is looking forward to its upgraded pavilion at Robert Booth Reserve, which will complement its recent court resurfacing and lighting upgrades. I understand that the Strathaird recreation reserve’s pavilion development is on the way as well, and that is a boon for those local clubs, including the Narre Warren South Lions, the Narre Warren South cricket club and the Narre South Saints Football Netball Club. I have spent many years helping to push for the Grices Road Reserve pavilion redevelopment, and the club serves many constituents in my electorate. I thank all of those clubs involved for their very strong advocacy, for their proposals and for their planning input. These projects are delivering much better facilities for our whole community, and I look forward to sharing the minister’s response with the community.
