Coldstream Community Centre

Harriet SHING (Eastern Victoria – Minister for the Suburban Rail Loop, Minister for Housing and Building, Minister for Development Victoria and Precincts) (10:05): It was such a joy to head back to the Coldstream Community Centre to celebrate completion of a really significant upgrade delivered under the climate-resilient buildings program and the Growing Suburbs Fund allocations, and this has been part of a $3 million upgrade to make sure that the building is sustainable, accessible and energy efficient. To see a solar battery, the additional insulation upgrades, accessible car park improvements and entry ramp, as well as upgrades to the main entrance, bathrooms and kitchen, is a real delight. I know that the U3A photography club and friendship group have really benefited from this work, and I want to congratulate everybody involved.
