Constituency questions
South-Eastern Metropolitan Region
Michael GALEA (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:38): (1595) My constituency question is for the Minister for Children. The Allan Labor government is providing the City of Casey with $6.75 million of funding to expand the Clyde north-west family and community centre. This project is expected to deliver 178 more kinder places, which will help families of kindergarten-aged children in Clyde North. This new integrated family and community centre will support essential three- and four-year-old kindergarten services and maternal and child health and provide flexible community spaces to support the delivery of other lifelong health and support programs for children, families and the surrounding community. Through the partnership between the Victorian government and the City of Casey we are delivering kinder places, improved facilities and amenities for families in and around Clyde North. Minister, how is the government supporting kinder children in Clyde North and the broader South-Eastern Metropolitan Region?
