 Evan MULHOLLAND (Northern Metropolitan) (12:40): (2159) My constituency question is again to the Minister for Environment, and it concerns the upgrades to the Greenvale Reservoir Park. After a decade of neglect, and thanks to my advocacy, we were able to force the Labor government to finally open Greenvale Reservoir Park after they put out a press release in 2017 promising its reopening and left it languishing for years and years and years. They have finally reopened the park, but I have received literally hundreds of comments from the community expressing their frustration. I will give you a bit of an example: ‘little more than a neglected leftover area’, ‘a huge disappointment’, ‘not like it used to be’, ‘my backyard is better than this’ and this is ‘quite embarrassing’. Will the minister break with Labor precedent, finally listen to my community and deliver the basic recreational facilities that were promised and are deserved?
