Constituency questions
Eastern Victoria Region
Eastern Victoria Region
Melina BATH (Eastern Victoria) (14:20): (755) My constituency question is for the minister for sport. Promoting recreational boating and angling, the Corinella Boating & Angling Club has over 220 members. With no clubhouse, president Murray Wannan and his committee have for years worked hard to bring this project to fruition. The club has already invested $45,000 on plans, permits and approvals, and the Bass Coast shire has been assisting the club with grants and also by making a financial contribution. But it is going to cost around $750,000. Labor provided an election commitment of $200,000, but there is a shortfall of around $410,000. This overdue facility is not just for the boating and angling club, it would serve as a broad community club and facility. So will the minister provide an additional $410,000 in the upcoming budget?
