Leopold community hall
Ms NEVILLE (Bellarine—Minister for Water, Minister for Police and Emergency Services) (09:36): On Monday, 10 February, I was pleased to open the historic, much-loved and now refurbished Leopold community hall. Over many years I have had the pleasure of working with and working for the hall’s committee of management and the various and growing user groups. In 2007 we provided $207 000 of state government funding to upgrade the hall floors and roofing, and this year, through the assistance of a $75 000 grant, upgraded works included a new ballet room, accessible unisex toilets, expanded lockable storage and ramps into the hall.
I congratulate president Kevin Smith and the committee on their hard work and the hard work of all the committees that have gone before. This has ensured the 127-year-old Leopold hall will continue to serve the community well for years to come.
