 Gaelle BROAD (Northern Victoria) (14:09): (528) My question is to the Minister for Transport Infrastructure on behalf of the Veteran, Vintage and Classic Club Bendigo. Alan and the team at the car club in Bendigo have been struggling to find a place for their club to work on restoring old cars. This club boasts a wealth of experienced members who are not only passionate about preserving automotive history but also eager to pass on their invaluable skills to new members and teenagers. They have managed to find a large shed that is fitted out with safety equipment, which has not been used for six years, on VicTrack land near the Eaglehawk train station. But Alan and the club have been back and forth with VicTrack for over five years – they have been told that they can use it but have never been told what steps they need to take to get into the shed. I ask the minister to get in touch with Alan and the Veteran, Vintage and Classic Club Bendigo to help them finalise the move to the shed, and I would be happy to provide further contact details if needed.
