 Mr R SMITH (Warrandyte) (14:41): (6500) My constituency question is to the Minister for Community Sport. I have recently written to the minister outlining the North Ringwood junior football and cricket clubs’ request for funding to create a master plan for their clubrooms at North Ringwood Reserve. North Ringwood Junior Football Club and North Ringwood Cricket Club are two great local sporting clubs that boast a growing number of teams for men and women and boys and girls of various ages. Unfortunately the current changing room conditions are far from adequate and require a rebuild to ensure a private and safe space for members to change, particularly at the times when the junior male and female games cross over. The creation of a master plan would allow these clubs to work with Maroondah council to ensure that the change rooms and clubrooms appropriately serve the clubs today and into the future. I want to put on the record my full support for this request, so my question for the minister is: can she provide information to me as to what funding opportunities are available for the creation of the master plan?
