Golf Clubs 90th & Mens Shed

 2nd April 2025

I have three matters today, President.  

First, I had the opportunity to attend the East Malvern Golf Club’s 90th Year Celebration. 

I want to thank the Minister for Community Sport, Minister Spence, in the other place for the opportunity to represent her in this event. 

Reaching a 90-year milestone is no mean feat – and I want to congratulate Ross Alatsas, President of the East Malvern Golf Club and the rest of the team for their achievement. 

More than 80 thousand rounds of golf are played on the greens and fairways every year at the course. 

Safe to say, it is a big part of my community. 

For my second matter, I had the great opportunity to visit the North Balwyn Mens Shed with President Peter Elliot and past President David Cheney. 

They currently have a 10-thousand-dollar grant in the pipeline. 

I look forward to visiting again when the installation of their exhaust system for the woodwork machines is finished. 

And finally, I joined Mr Batchelor as well as the Member for Bentleigh, Minister Staikos the other day, in his patch in Bentleigh East to visit the brand-new opening of an Ambulance Station there. 

Thank you to Minister Horne for the invitation. 

It was great to see the facilities first-hand and remember that only an Allan Labor Government will deliver for our ambos – that’s why we have former ambos on our team. 

Enjoy the break.
