Jamieson Way Community Centre
Mathew HILAKARI (Point Cook) (19:23): (890) My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Children in the other place, and the action that I seek is for the minister to join me in a visit to Jamieson Way Community Centre, a place she has already visited on announcement previously. The suburb of Point Cook of course, as many here would know, particularly those in the western and northern suburbs, is a growing suburb. Since 1996 it has gone from 50 residents – except for the RAAF base – to 70,000-plus residents today; an extraordinary growth. This government continues to invest in Point Cook, most recently announcing a new kindergarten alongside the next school that we will build in Point Cook. The government has also demonstrated its support for children across the community that I represent through the Jamieson Way upgrades, and apart from redeveloping the community centre we are also building a third kindergarten room for 33 children and upgrading the play area and the maternal child and health spaces. The front entrance is actually already open, and it is looking sensational. I look forward to the minister having an opportunity to visit what is an important project alongside Wyndham council.
