Constituency questions
Southern Metropolitan Region
David DAVIS (Southern Metropolitan) (12:48): (45) My constituency question is for the Minister for Environment, who oversights the parks and so forth around the state through committees of management. Particularly the Wattle Park Heritage Group has sought from me assistance. They have often been funded in the past for Anzac Day services and with support for the work that that heritage group does. Obviously this is an old tramways park, an important park in the local area, that services many people in my electorate but also, I might add, President, in your electorate. They seek $4000 in support to enable them to continue their work. People may not know, but the Lone Pines are in that heritage area. One of the four Lone Pines was planted there in 1933, and that pine is growing well, as is its successor pine that some of us fought strongly to get put in the area. Four thousand dollars seems a very modest amount to provide in support, and if the minister cannot do it through the environment portfolio it could be done through veterans.
