Constituency questions
Northern Metropolitan Region
Sheena WATT (Northern Metropolitan) (12:54): (1712) I am excited that the Pick My Park program has launched. The Pick My Park survey is open, and it gives Victorians an incredible opportunity to have their say on how local infrastructure is developed and how open and green spaces are utilised. A stunning example of what urban parks would do and could look like under this program is the Michelle Guglielmo Park, just down Sydney Road; it is up there across the road from the town hall. It really is a welcome initiative from communities across the northern suburbs, where access to quality open space is increasingly important, especially in areas where population and housing density are growing. I had the good fortune recently of running into Michelle’s sister, and she asked how we can continue to have more parks open in the northern suburbs. So my question on behalf of Michelle’s sister is for the Minister for Development Victoria and Precincts. What areas in the Northern Metropolitan Region will be eligible for this program?
