Western Metropolitan Region
Mr FINN (Western Metropolitan) (12:35): (1777) My constituency question is directed to the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Major Events. Last night, along with a number of colleagues from both houses, I attended a presentation by the Western United Football Club upstairs in the Federation Room. I was delighted to meet players and officials, who told me of the club’s plans for the future, and I have to say their excitement was quite infectious. Indeed their plans for a new home in Tarneit should get everyone very excited. New playing fields, new facilities, new teams and other sports will be a major boost to the Wyndham community. It is the sort of project we have long wanted, particularly for local young people. I cannot help but add my support to Western United and its plans, and I certainly share its excitement. Minister, will you give any request for financial support for the Western United development in Tarneit serious consideration, with a view to a favourable response?
