Box Hill electorate

Paul HAMER (Box Hill) (14:56): My question is to the Minister for Community Sport, and I ask: what is the status of the Mirrabooka Reserve pavilion redevelopment in Blackburn South? As the minister is aware, the pavilion is set to undergo a major facelift, thanks in large part to a $3 million commitment made by the Allan Labor government at the last election. I have gone down to the grounds in recent times and I have seen the concept plans that have been released, and they do look fantastic. It is going to be a great addition to the community facilities down there, particularly for the two major tenants, being the Blackburn NewHope Football Club and the Blackburn South Cricket Club. At the moment there is only a single change room for all players, male or female, and the new pavilion will provide much-improved facilities. I look forward to the minister’s response.
