Southern Metropolitan Region
Ryan BATCHELOR (Southern Metropolitan) (12:51): (1775) My question is to the Minister for Community Sport. As our city grows, how is the Labor government providing more opportunities for young people to engage in sport in the Southern Metropolitan Region? Last week I had the pleasure of joining my colleague Nick Staikos, the member for Bentleigh in the other place, to officially switch on the lights at the Dane Road Reserve in Moorabbin, home to the Racing Rugby Club, an excellent junior rugby team. These new LED lights will mean they can hold more training sessions during extended hours through the winter months, thanks to a contribution from the Labor government in conjunction with the City of Kingston. The switching on of these lights is an investment in these young people’s futures. As they were switched on at the Dane Road Reserve, you could see the new classrooms that are just being built at the Moorabbin Primary School and the brand new competition-grade gymnasium at that primary school, which is just about to be opened for community use. With these new lights, the future is bright for community sport in Moorabbin.
