 Mathew HILAKARI (Point Cook) (02:06): (1369) My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Education, and the action that I seek is for the minister to provide an update on the program of opening up school facilities for broader community usage. Forty-one of the new schools that have been built in Melbourne’s west and Geelong have been identified in this program, opening up sporting, arts and cultural spaces – a fantastic program. The council has not delivered the facilities that we need in Point Cook, and I call on Wyndham council to provide some of those basketball courts – we are currently 12 short – and the many other facilities that they have identified in their own sporting needs analysis. More broadly, I would like to see Wyndham council come to the table. They will find a partner in government, because we too want to see these facilities opened. Minister, you joined me at the Homestead Senior Secondary College to announce the opening of this wonderful program, and I look forward to the update.
