South-Eastern Metropolitan Region
Michael GALEA (South-Eastern Metropolitan) (12:45): (1516) My question is for the Minister for Environment in the other place, Minister Dimopoulos. The Allan Labor government is investing $13.4 million in the new and upgraded dog parks program. This program aims to deliver easier access to quality green spaces to relax, socialise and play with our furry friends. Successful recipients of round 2 of the program were announced last week, and I am very happy to say that one such successful project, which received $240,000 in funding, is at Sweeney recreation reserve in Berwick, which is going to transform some unused land into a vibrant community space with designated off-leash areas for dogs large and small. Minister, how will round 2 of the new and upgraded dog parks program improve the access to and quality of open spaces for dog lovers in the south-east?
