Local Cricket Club and Parks Victoria

Thursday, 07 September 2017

Ms PATTEN (Northern Metropolitan) — My question is for the Minister for Energy, Environment and Climate Change. Mark Jones, the president of the Thornbury Turf Strokers Cricket Club, has contacted me outlining a number of issues regarding Parks Victoria, which reports to the minister. In 2015 Parks Victoria took control of Yarra Bend Park, which includes Corben Oval, a cricket ground used by the Turf Strokers. This ground was previously maintained by Yarra City Council, but since falling under Parks Victoria control it has not been maintained and is falling into disrepair. The ground, shared with the Richmond Cricket Club, has a small pavilion with limited dilapidated facilities. The clubs have written to Parks Victoria about enclosing the roof and installing a small kitchen and an external cage for bins and storage but have not received any response. I ask the minister why Parks Victoria has not responded and whether they will commit to these minor upgrades to this important facility for northern metropolitan residents.
