Werribee electorate infrastructure projects

John LISTER (Werribee) (19:10): (1066) My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Development Victoria and Precincts in the other place, and the action I seek is that the minister provides me with an update on the Growing Suburbs Fund projects in the Werribee electorate. Wyndham City Council is an important delivery partner, and I would like to ensure they are meeting the community’s expectations with these projects.

Last week I was honoured to represent the minister at the official opening of the new Galvin Park Sexton Pavilion. In addition to $1 million from the Allan Labor government’s Local Sports Infrastructure Fund, a further $2 million was allocated from our Growing Suburbs Fund. I would like to congratulate the committee at Werribee Centrals for their vision and hard work in delivering this project for our community north of the railway line. Centrals are a growing club with a strong junior netball and football program and a gun women’s football side, who won last year’s grand final. I look forward to watching many more wins from the new balcony that we have constructed or from down on the sidelines with a hot meat pie.
