I rise to speak on a fantastic project in my electorate, and that is the Upwey-Tecoma Community Recreational and Sporting Hub. Not long ago I turned up with 300 local residents to show our support for this project and also to give a bit of a message to the council that we want all their support too. At the last election, we committed $500,000, and I would like to thank the chairman, Andrew Peterson; the steering committee vice-chairman, Andrew Fullagar; and the secretary, Alan Stevenson. I thank them for their fantastic work.

There are 25 groups who will benefit: Upwey High School; Upwey Tecoma Football and Netball Club; Upwey Tecoma Cricket Club; Upwey-Tecoma Bowls Club; Upwey Tecoma Junior Football Club; Upwey Township Group; Ranges Chess Club; Friends of Glenfern Valley Bushlands; Sherbrooke Basketball Association; Mountain Tigers Basketball Club; Upwey-Tecoma Tennis Club; KidsFest; Tecoma Village Action Group; Upwey-Tecoma Auskick; Belgrave Probus Club; Upwey and District Garden Club; Sherbrooke U3A; Sherbrooke Foothills Historical Society; Il Shim Tae Kwon Do; Upwey Tae Kwon Do and Self Defence; Upwey South Tennis Club; Upwey South Netball Club; Upwey Senior Citizens Club; and Upwey Primary School. I do not think there is a club in Upwey or Tecoma I have left off. Again, congratulations.
