Kilsyth Sports Centre
Sonja TERPSTRA (North-Eastern Metropolitan) (13:15): Sport brings communities together, which is why the Allan Labor government has invested $10.5 million to deliver major upgrades for the Pinks Reserve at Kilsyth Sports Centre. I was really pleased to attend the opening of the new and upgraded centre with my colleague the fantastic member for Monbulk Daniela De Martino. These facilities host over 10,000 participants a year – that is thousands of kids forming friendships and exercising, as well as thousands of parents sharing courtside chips, amongst other things. The upgrades include a new court, change room facilities and more. The court will mean byes can be eliminated, and it also enables the wheelchair league at the facility to expand. It is a fantastic thing. I hope everyone in the local community enjoys this really important upgraded facility, whether they are playing, coaching or cheering on from the sidelines.
