Ivanhoe Bowls
Anthony CARBINES (Ivanhoe – Minister for Police, Minister for Community Safety, Minister for Victims, Minister for Racing) (10:36): I would just like to congratulate the Ivanhoe bowling club and chairperson Pam McColl on the launch of their bowls season at Ivanhoe on 30 August. I was, sadly, unable to attend as I was returning from Wangaratta, where I had spent time at the police station there after the horrific events across that previous week. But I know that it was a successful opening day, and I appreciate the invitation to attend. We were able to provide some gifts for them for some of the prizes. There is also a $300,000 grant from our government for some upgrades there at Ivanhoe Bowls, which the Banyule City Council are in charge of making happen. I look forward to those works happening at Ivanhoe Bowls club, a great club in my electorate. It is over 100 years old and has been providing great services and great sport.
