■ Yan Yean MLA Lauren Kathage has praised community members involved with the Whittlesea Unitofthe State Emergency Service. Ms Kathage said she had met with controller Gary Doorbar: “What a fantastic group of people that are serving the community out of the goodness of their hearts, out of the cleverness of their brains and out of the strength of their hands. I thank them so much for their contribution to our community. “While I was there – it was a freezing cold night – they were outside training and learning. It occurred to me that these volunteers spend hundreds of hours training just to help us in the worst hour of our lives. “All the hard work that they do is thinking ahead to something we do not know is even coming yet. I thank them for their dedication and the work they put into making sure that they can keep us and our properties safe through some of the hardest times,” Ms Kathage said. “We absolutely back in the SES and all that they do, and we always will, because we know that they are the backbone of our community.”

■ Thomastown MLA Bronwyn Halfpenny told State Parliament about opening a new Scout Hall at Epping North. “I was very excited to open on behalf of the Minister for Youth the brand new Epping North Scout hall,” Ms Halfpenny said. “The opening celebration was together with the Scout members; Laura, one of the Scout leaders; and of course long-time friends and activists in the area Cara Horner and Thomas Di Palma. “The Allan Labor Government provided $600,000 plus the land at Edgars Creek secondary school to build this important piece of infrastructure. “While buildings are important, it is the people and the work that is done in and outside the building that really counts. “The building just makes it easier and demonstrates the government’s commitment to residents in the outer suburbs of Epping North and Wollert,” Ms Halfpenny told the Legislative Assembly.
