Northern Victoria Region

Gaelle BROAD (Northern Victoria) (12:56): (740) Public hearings for the parliamentary inquiry into the Commonwealth Games were held in Bendigo last week. It was evident that the community is still waiting for details in relation to the projects that were committed for Bendigo. My question is to the Premier and is in relation to the new exhibition space, the Bendigo showgrounds, the Bendigo Bowls Club redevelopment, the Bendigo Stadium court expansion and the social and affordable housing development at Flora Hill. I ask her to provide an update for the community on these projects and when works are due to be completed. It is nearly eight months since the Commonwealth Games were cancelled and a $2 billion alternate funding package was announced, but the Bendigo community is still waiting.
