 David SOUTHWICK (Caulfield) (15:55): (1438) My constituency question is to the Minister for Community Sport. Will funding be provided in the next budget to upgrade the change rooms at Glen Huntly reserve? Caulfield Grammarians Football Club have been seeking a long overdue upgrade of these change rooms. These change rooms have not had a dollar in them for probably over 50 years. I recall playing as a junior and using those facilities. They are not fit for purpose. They are prison style in terms of the showers. In fact Dame Phyllis Frost has much better facilities than these change rooms at the moment. The club fields three senior women’s teams involving over 100 female participants. They desperately need an upgrade to ensure that these facilities are fit for purpose. If there is anything this government should fund, it should be these types of community facilities. I urge the minister to look at this. The club is supporting it, and I suggest the government does too.
