The member for Mordialloc raised a matter for the Minister for Environment seeking an update on actions with regard to the benefits of the container deposit scheme in his Mordialloc electorate. And I know there are some great videos of the member for Mordialloc using the container deposit scheme very recently.

The member for Euroa raised a matter for the Minister for Health regarding ensuring that there are no closures of maternity services in regional Victoria, in particular regarding the maternity services review work that she outlined just recently. The member for Bentleigh, as we are well acquainted with, raised a matter for the Minister for Government Services to write a letter to the Minister for Communications the Honourable Michelle Rowland regarding the mobile coverage on Centre Road, East Bentleigh. The member for Eildon raised a matter for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety seeking action to arrange for the removal of trees, shrubs, serrated tussock and other vegetation that is obscuring and undermining the road barriers – wire rope barriers and the like – in her electorate. The hardworking member for Narre Warren South raised a matter for the Minister for Planning.

The member for Tarneit raised a matter for the Minister for Environment regarding actions and initiatives for the timelines for the Cambridge Reserve dog park in Hoppers Crossing, which he advises his electorate are very excited about. The member for Sandringham raised a matter for the Minister for Roads and Road Safety, and the action that he sought was regarding some permanent safety solutions at the intersection of Bay Road and Highland Avenue. And the extremely hardworking member for Greenvale raised a matter for the Minister for Water in the other place seeking action and an update on the funded plan for the Greenvale Reservoir Park opening at the southern end, which he has worked very hard to deliver for his community. He seeks the latest update on that being returned to the community in his Greenvale electorate. I commend those matters to you, Deputy Speaker.
