Southern Metropolitan Region

Ms CROZIER (Southern Metropolitan) (12:44): (1620) My question is to the Minister for Community Sport, and it is in relation to the Albert Park sailing precinct, a wonderful resource there for sailing boats, yacht clubs and the community. The Albert Park Yacht Club is a facility that requires a significant upgrade. It has been around for quite some time. At present it is also facilitating Albert Park College by having 50 to 60 students in the Albert Park sailing club each day to help with their educational learning requirements. But the whole precinct requires a significant amount of money. The City of Port Phillip is very supportive of the upgrades. $15 million is required. So the question I have to ask the minister is: will that funding be provided in this year’s upcoming budget?
