Juliana ADDISON (Wendouree) (14:53): My question is for the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Major Events. How has the Allan Labor government’s support for AFL matches at Mars Stadium benefited the Ballarat community?

Mars Stadium is the premier outdoor stadium located in Ballarat, in my electorate of Wendouree. The ground was redeveloped in 2016 thanks to support from the Labor government and now hosts two AFL Western Bulldogs home games during the season and an AFLW Western Bulldogs game.

We know that Ballarat loves football. We know that our future investment at Mars Stadium, with an additional 5000 seats, is going to make Mars Stadium an even better place to watch football in the future. I look forward to the minister’s response.
