Ryan BATCHELOR (Southern Metropolitan) (12:51): (2353) My question today is to the Minister for Community Sport. How is the Allan Labor government investing in infrastructure to increase the usage of community sport facilities in the Southern Metropolitan Region? I recently had the pleasure of going down to Elsternwick Park to celebrate and officially open the new lights and the upgrades to the pavilion that were recently completed thanks to a $1 million contribution from the Victorian government. Elsternwick Park is a thriving hub for community sport in the area, home to the Old Melburnians Football Club and the Elsternwick Cricket Club. The new lighting in particular is massively increasing the usage of the park for clubs to play and train at night, and obviously as we go into winter, things get darker and it is much more important to have better light at these facilities to increase their usage. Sport is the beating heart of many communities, and clearly Elsternwick is absolutely benefiting from the investments that Labor is making to improve participation in community sport.
