 Rachel PAYNE (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:56): (1122) My constituency question is for the Minister for Community Sport. My constituent is a resident of Cranbourne North and plays soccer with the Lynbrook Falcons, one of the biggest clubs in the area. The Lynbrook Falcons home ground is at Lawson Poole Reserve. My constituent helps around the club often, making sure the clubrooms and pitches are kept tidy, but despite their best efforts the facilities just are not fit for a growing club. The club has asked their local council to fund some upgrades, and thankfully the pitches will now be fixed in the off-season; however, they still require more fencing, road repairs, lighting, improvements and other facilities. So my constituent asks: will the minister fund infrastructure improvements to the Lawson Poole Reserve so that their club can continue to be a source of community connection in the south-east?
