Constituency questions

South-Eastern Metropolitan Region

Michael GALEA (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:46): (1803) My constituency question is for the Minister for Community Sport. I welcome the opening of a new round of the Local Sports Infrastructure Fund, which provides funding to deliver community facilities, community sporting lighting and planning for projects between $40,000 and $500,000. Councils, with the participation of local clubs, associations and leagues, are eligible to apply for funding that will support local communities and increase our local sports participation. The last round of the project saw many big wins in the south-east, including $200,000 in funding for new facilities at Greaves Reserve in Dandenong, $250,000 for new change rooms at Frankston Park and $250,000 to extend and upgrade facilities at the Knox skate and BMX park. Minister, how is this government supporting community sport in the south-east?
