Ms STITT: I was also recently privileged to join the Boon Wurrung traditional owners and many local volunteers at the reconciliation day tree planting event in Werribee. My colleagues Tim Pallas, the member for Werribee, and the Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate Change, Lily D’Ambrosio MP, also attended this special event, which was organised to mark National Reconciliation Week. Throughout the day 1500 trees were planted along the Werribee River by members of the local community. This project was supported by the government in terms of the More Trees for a Cooler, Greener West initiative, an excellent initiative which will see 210 000 new trees planted in the west of Melbourne by the end of this year, reducing pollution.
