Langwarrin Football Netball Club

Mr BURGESS: On 7 February I was pleased to be invited to attend the opening of Langwarrin Netball Club’s new courts at Lloyd Park in Langwarrin. The opening was a great success as guests witnessed the under-11’s twilight tournament played on the new courts, while enjoying music, fun and games throughout the evening. As we are all aware, not all of the damage done by our state’s recent bushfires was a visible and direct impact from fire. Many communities untouched by flames nevertheless suffered severe emotional and economic consequences—economic consequences including the squeeze placed on funding from public and private fundraising sources. I am very pleased to inform members that Langwarrin Netball Club has recognised the plight of these local sporting clubs and has generously chosen to donate $1500 raised at the opening of the new courts to the Lakes Entrance netball club. President Gary Zeuschner will join great local member the member for Gippsland East to present the funds to the club in the near future. I congratulate President Gary and his hardworking committee for their insightful and generosity.
