 Lily D’AMBROSIO (Mill Park – Minister for Climate Action, Minister for Energy and Resources, Minister for the State Electricity Commission) (09:52): The Allan Labor government realises the value of free and modern parks, which Victorian families deserve, and the importance of outdoor play and exercise close to home. That is why under the Pick My Park program we are delivering quality upgrades, with $250,000 for Meadowglen playground, $110,000 for Golf Links Drive park and $100,000 for Longwood playground. These improvements will replace ageing infrastructure and create safe, inclusive spaces for families and the local community, because helping families is what this government does. I also want to take the opportunity to encourage residents to suggest parks for the second round of the Pick My Park program. Applications are now open until 2 April, so if there is a local park near you that you think needs an upgrade, contact my office.
