Southern Metropolitan Region

 Georgie CROZIER (Southern Metropolitan) (12:49): (2351) My constituency question is for the Minister for Development Victoria and Precincts. Recently I met with the Port Melbourne and Fishermans Bend Sports Clubs Alliance, representing 11 sports clubs across seven codes at JL Murphy Reserve in Port Melbourne. They are concerned that while thousands of new residents are moving into Fishermans Bend, planning, particularly for sporting infrastructure, is being left behind. Existing clubs are at capacity, kids are being turned away and facilities are failing. There is great uncertainty about future sporting fields, courts, pavilions and open space. The alliance is seeking a comprehensive master plan to ensure one of Australia’s largest urban renewal projects continues to grow as a complete community, not simply as a collection of apartments. Will the minister expedite a master plan for Fishermans Bend, including JL Murphy Reserve, and provide a timeline for its completion?
