 Matt FREGON (Ashwood) (09:43): Last month I mentioned that we opened the new inclusive playground at Glen Iris Primary, and I just want to come back to that quickly to thank Georgia and Alexander for showing me around. My tour guides were excellent on the day, and a big shout-out to the principal Maddie Witter and the architects, who were there, Design Core Architects, for the fantastic play space that is now in action. Also, I want to give a shout-out to deputy mayor Victor Franco for joining me after that for a Q&A session with the grade 5s to talk about civics and the importance of all those things.

While we are on playgrounds, I managed to drop into Parkhill Primary School. A big shout-out to Jo Jolly. Their new playground is now open, and it is fantastic. This was a commitment we gave in 2022, and it is now in place. There are still some other works being done, but I can tell you the kids were very, very happy with their new space.
