Constituency questions

Tarneit electorate


Tarneit electorate

Dylan WIGHT (Tarneit) (14:54): (736) My question is to the Minister for Children. How will the Allan Labor government’s Building Blocks grants help families in my community of Tarneit? I had the great pleasure last month of visiting the opening of the Hoppers Crossing Children’s Centre, which is right next to my electorate office on Heaths Road. The Hoppers Crossing Children’s Centre received $2.7 million in funding as part of a Building Blocks capacity-building grant. It was fantastic to see the amazing facilities this grant has already contributed to my community. I am also eager to go and see this kind of building development in the Goodstart Early Learning centre on the corner of Morris Road and Heaths Road, for which extensive upgrades are proposed totalling $1.2 million as part of the same grants program. The project includes new flooring, painting, bathroom refurbishments and new joinery and cabinetry. I cannot wait for the minister’s response.
