■ Matt Fregon, Ashwood MLA, has called on Ingrid Stitt, Minister for Early Childhood and Pre-Prep, to join him to officially open the newly completed Pinewood Early Years Hub. “We partnered with Monash City Council, who applied for one of the Building Blocks grants, and the Andrews Government allocated $2 million in round 1 of 2021–22 to build a new integrated children’s centre and a multi-faceted centre including community service, a maternal and child health nurse and a kindergarten,” Mr Fregon told Parliament last week. “I know this kindergarten very well because I drive past it nearly every day on the way to Coles and it is where my three little kids went. “It is such a transformation. The new centre looks fantastic, and I cannot wait to get in there and have a look. “I did get a message from Debbie Brereton, and I give a shout-out to Debbie and the whole team down there. “She sent me a little message today saying, out of the blue, ‘I hope you’re well, and I don’t know if you’ve seen our new preschool. It’s amazing and our families love it,’ – so I am sold already – ‘and we’re up and running and would love you to come down and see it’. “Well, not only will I definitely go down to see it but I would love the minister to come down with me, because it is such a good improvement and it is fantastic to be a local member and see our area thriving. “The member for Glen Waverley is over there, and a shout-out to him because a lot of the catchment area for the Pinewood Early Years Hub goes over Blackburn Road, and I know his constituents will be very happy as well. I cannot wait for the minister to come down,” Mr Fregon told the Legislative Assembly.
