Pascoe Vale electorate
Ms BLANDTHORN (Pascoe Vale) (12:46): (1854) My constituency question is for the Minister for Local Government. The question I ask is whether the minister will consider approving the application by Moreland City Council in relation to the community infrastructure loans scheme for the construction of the Wheatsheaf Hub in Glenroy. This is an important infrastructure project that is planned for the integration of essential services in Glenroy, an area in which this government is investing greatly in trying to help Glenroy build a community that embraces its diversity and provides services in health for children, for maternal services and for services that help the newly arrived with settlement. This hub would create a great space that offers many of the services that residents in Glenroy rely on: a kindergarten, community health services, long day care and maternal and child health, as well as a library. As part of this project the state government has already committed $750Â 000 towards the new library.
