 Michael GALEA (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (18:30): (1732) My adjournment matter this evening is for the Minister for Development Victoria and Precincts, who is here with us today, and the action that I seek is for the minister to join me in visiting the Upper Beaconsfield recreation reserve to discuss the Upper Beaconsfield community sport and Scout pavilion project with the community, with members of the committee and with the Shire of Cardinia to hear firsthand about how this project will be benefiting the community. Construction on this project, which has benefited from $3.5 million in the Growing Suburbs Fund, will be commencing very, very soon. It will replace the existing aged and noncompliant facility, where currently the boys have to go to access their change rooms through the kitchen and the girls have to go around outside to the back, a totally unacceptable situation and one that will be fully rectified with the terrific new buildings. It will serve the current users as well as the broader Upper Beaconsfield community to allow for an increase of activities and participation. I very much look forward to the minister’s response.
