South-Eastern Metropolitan Region

Rachel PAYNE (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:40): (355) My constituency question is for the Minister for Local Government. My constituent is a resident of Greater Dandenong city. As a young university student, she is rightly frustrated at the lack of public library facilities in her area. Greater Dandenong has one of the lowest public libraries per capita ratios in metropolitan Melbourne and is one of the highest population growth areas, so my constituent asks: what is the minister doing to encourage improved library access for the young and rapidly growing population of Greater Dandenong?
