North-Eastern Metropolitan Region
Matthew BACH (North-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:40): (35) My question today is for the Minister for Emergency Services. It is about needed upgrades for the Whitehorse SES facility in my electorate. The centre is in Box Hill South, and it really needs an upgrade principally because the current premises is cramped and no longer fit for purpose. The unit here in Whitehorse has been serving my local community for over three decades, and right now there are 80 active and loyal volunteers from all walks of life. The question that I ask the minister is this: will she meet with representatives of both the Whitehorse SES division and the Whitehorse council with a view to providing the necessary funding at the earliest possible opportunity?
