More homes mean more opportunity – and the Allan Labor Government will deliver more homes in regional communities, so young working people can find a home in the places they know and love.

We recognise that family and loved ones play such an important role in our mental health system, and this new centre right here in Ballarat will give caregivers the support they deserve close to home.
Mental health support has never been more important for young people across Ballarat than it is right now – the new YPARC will make a real and lasting difference right here in Ballarat in our region.
I want to thank the Member for her tireless advocacy for the health of her local community. I know the member is keenly interested in making sure that her constituents across the Ballarat region have access to the healthcare they need.
Expanding kinder places isn’t just about education – it’s about helping parents and carers return to work or study, knowing their children are getting the best start in life. This partnership will make a real difference for families in Sebastopol. By investing $4.5 million into the Sebastopol Community Hub through our Building Blocks Capacity program, we are not only creating new kindergarten rooms and places - but contributing funds for a much-needed purpose built space for the whole community.
Today I pay tribute to Doug Sarah OAM, Bill McGregor OAM and Ewan Jones OAM, who all recently passed away. These men made significant contributions to Ballarat over many decades in different fields, but all three were driving forces behind the success of Sovereign Hill.
My question is for the Minister for Health Infrastructure and is regarding the Allan Labor government’s $655 million investment to expand and redevelop the Ballarat Base Hospital.

The Allan Labor Government has unveiled the final designs for Ballarat Station which delivers a wide range of accessibility upgrades for passengers, while respecting the heritage of the transport precinct.

Ballarat footy fans will have more chances to see the stars of the game up close, with the Allan Labor Government securing AFL and AFLW games in Ballarat for the next three seasons.

I thank the Member for Wendouree for her question and for her commitment to her local Ballarat community.
