 Ryan BATCHELOR (Southern Metropolitan) (19:03): (1765) My adjournment tonight is for the Minister for Development Victoria and Precincts. The action that I seek from the minister is an update on the Allan Labor government’s Pick My Park program. The inner south-eastern suburbs in the Southern Metropolitan Region are home to some of Melbourne’s great parks and open spaces, and with more and more people wanting to call this part of Melbourne home, parks are going to be an increasingly important part of the amenity of these local communities and of these public open spaces. The government’s Pick My Park scheme is providing funding of between $20,000 and $250,000 for new and upgraded parks. It is a great opportunity for residents across the Southern Metropolitan Region to put in applications to get behind their parks and to make our wonderful communities even better.
