Wednesday, 19 September 2018

Ms SHING (Eastern Victoria) (10:05:12) — The work associated with the Latrobe Valley Authority’s community facility fund continues, and it has been a great pleasure to be part of an additional $3.7 million being allocated across those three local government areas, being Baw Baw shire, Latrobe shire and Wellington shire. They include the Willow Grove Recreation Reserve pavilion, Willow Grove Recreation Reserve irrigation and storage shed, Warragul cricket club, Trafalgar Victory Football Club, Community College Gippsland, Future Morwell, Traralgon Public Cemetery Trust, Morwell Historical Society, Traralgon Redsox Baseball Club, Traralgon Golf Club, Twin City Archers Gippsland, Moe Cricket Club, Old Gippstown, Yallourn North Bowling Club, Yarra Trail, Rotary Club of Sale Central, Sale Botanic Gardens, Stratford Bowling Club, Heyfield RV Park, Victoria Park water tower, Sale Golf Club, Maffra Golf Club, Maffra Dramatic Society, Licola Wilderness Village, Gumnuts Early Learning Centre and Veronica Maybury Memorial Reserve.

In addition to this, it has been wonderful to be able to support Scouts Victoria with upgrades at six halls in Glengarry, Trafalgar, Stratford, Maffra, Newborough and Traralgon to improve accessibility and universal design to make sure that more people can participate in pride of place in community activities and that all parts of the Latrobe Valley region have the best possible opportunities to thrive, to grow and to really define and set out a positive future.
