 Lee TARLAMIS (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (18:15): (2333) My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Development Victoria and Precincts. I was pleased to see the recent announcement of the first round of Pick My Park grants on the weekend, which included several in my electorate of South-Eastern Metropolitan region, such as the Apex Park play space renewal in Dandenong; upgrades to Montague Park, Lipton reserve, Franciscan reserve, Roberts reserve, Kashmir reserve and the George Pentland Botanic Gardens accessible path connections project in Frankston; the Warner Reserve dog off-leash park in Springvale; and the Gladeswood Reserve new play-space project in Mulgrave. We know how important it is that people can spend less time travelling to accessible facilities like parks so they can spend more time enjoying them with their families. The Pick My Park program is providing funding to establish areas for park upgrades and new parks. The action I seek is that the minister provide me with information on how residents in South-Eastern Metropolitan region can get involved in the second round of Pick My Park.
