 John LISTER (Werribee) (14:40): (1673) My constituency question is to the Minister for Community Sport. How can local councils apply for the next round of sports infrastructure funding? Our sports clubs are at the heart of our community, and over the years the Labor government has championed good facilities for our up-and-coming sports stars. I have recently been in discussions with clubs at *Presidents Park in the heart of my electorate. They have been back and forth with council for a little while on their master plan, and I welcome Wyndham city now committing to upgrades there thanks to the engagement from the Werribee Hockey Club and the nearby baseball club, and I look forward to helping facilitate further support for this work. The Allan Labor government has a strong record of investing in local sports infrastructure in Werribee, including in the great facility at Galvin Park, which we opened last year. I will continue to fight for the facilities our amazing sports clubs need, and I look forward to the minister’s response.
