Lara electorate

Ella GEORGE (Lara) (14:49): (591) My question is for the Minister for Community Sport: how is planning progressing for the Stead Park redevelopment? Stead Park is the home of the Geelong Hockey Association and many local hockey clubs from across the Greater Geelong region, and this government is committed to seeing it reach its full potential, with upgrades planned to the pavilion, a new pitch and new seating. The current facilities are very weary and in need of an upgrade, and I had the pleasure to host the minister there recently to see it for herself. The community are very excited for these upgrades, and I am looking forward to working with them and the clubs to ensure that this project will deliver a hockey facility in Corio that current players and our hockey stars of the future can enjoy for years to come. Again, my question to the minister is: how is planning progressing for the Stead Park redevelopment?
