Penrose community garden, Tarneit

Ms STITT (Western Metropolitan—Minister for Workplace Safety, Minister for Early Childhood) (10:18): As a longstanding resident of the Western Metropolitan Region, I am really proud that the Andrews Labor government has made a commitment to creating more green open space in the west. Last month I was pleased to represent Minister Leane and officially open the Penrose community garden in Tarneit along with representatives of the Wyndham City Council, members from the Pasifika community and Labor candidate for Tarneit Dylan Wight. This wonderful new community garden was made possible through a $170 000 contribution from the Andrews Labor government as part of our Tarneit suburban revitalisation program, in addition to $11 000 provided by Wyndham City Council. This space will provide a new gathering place for the Tarneit community to enjoy.
