Box Hill electorate

Paul HAMER (Box Hill) (14:58): (859) My question is to the Minister for Community Sport. What is the latest status of the Springfield Park upgrade in Box Hill North? As the minister knows, at the 2022 election Labor committed $1.5 million to this very worthwhile investment to assist some great local netball and cricket clubs in the Box Hill electorate. There is immense excitement and anticipation from all members of the Whitehorse Colts Football and Netball Club, the Whitehorse Pioneers Football and Netball Club and the Kerrimuir United Cricket Club to see this project completed, which will involve a multipurpose court and an extension to the cricket nets. A lot of fantastic people at those clubs have advocated tirelessly for these upgrades over a number of years. It has truly been a team effort. I want to again thank Melissa Collard from the netball club, Pat Marulli from the cricket club, Sam Benson from the Colts football and netball club and Alan Bertacco from the seniors club, as well as all the others who have helped along the way.
