Eastern Metropolitan Region

Mr BARTON (Eastern Metropolitan) (12:44): (1813) My constituency question is for the Minister for Community Sport. I have had a constituent contact me regarding the lack of netball courts in the City of Whitehorse. Whitehorse council recently refused a proposal to put a single netball court in Box Hill North’s Springfield Park. The netball club is very disappointed with this decision, even pointing to the council’s continuously prioritising infrastructure for male-dominated sports while the girls are stuck with the leftovers. This netball club needs a place to play. So the information I seek is: does the Andrews government have any plans to build the netball court for residents in the City of Whitehorse?
