 Ryan BATCHELOR (Southern Metropolitan) (12:39): My question is to the Minister for the Suburban Rail Loop. Minister, how is the Allan Labor government investing in new facilities in Highett and Cheltenham through the Suburban Rail Loop project? I am pretty excited because a world-class skate park is coming to Highett, all thanks to the SRL project. The skate park is being designed by a head judge of Olympic skateboarding – Renton Millar, a Cheltenham local – and will act as an anchor for the major transformation of Sir William Fry Reserve as part of the SRL project, including through a new multisport court, pickleball court, off-leash dog park, new trees, more greenery, new cycling paths, better lighting, better facilities and better amenities for locals. That is what the Allan Labor government is delivering to local communities.
