Korumburra infrastructure funding

Tom McINTOSH (Eastern Victoria) (10:16): I rise to inform the Parliament of all the investments the Labor state government are making into Korumburra. The secondary college has had a multimillion-dollar massive upgrade to ensure that the teenagers of Korumburra are getting a world-class education. We have got the new kinder at the primary school, ensuring that local families are getting their kids into places and getting them the best possible start in life. The new lights at the rec reserve are making sure that the soccer and the cricket clubs are able to be out under the best lighting that they could possibly have. We have got the new upgrades coming along with the netball rooms and the footy club rooms, ensuring that anyone getting involved in the clubs there has the best facilities. We have got the massive new facilities at the men’s shed, converting the old disused loco shed into something truly incredible. All the members at the men’s shed are fitting that out and getting office spaces set up, so congratulations to them. There are the upgrades to maintain the RSL, the work that has been done there to futureproof the building, but not only that they are throwing it open to the community so groups can come in and use the buildings as and when needed. There is also the beautiful new community hub looking out across town, the library, the historical society and rooms for the whole community to come in and use, not to mention everything that is happening at the railway precinct and the investments we are making to make sure that kids can get into Coal Creek and learn there. There is just so much going on. Congratulations to everybody involved.
