I'm pleased to rise today to welcome the new communities which will be added to the Curtin electorate following the recent electoral redistribution in Western Australia. These changes will see parts of the suburbs of Karrinyup, Gwelup, Trigg and the entirety of Scarborough added to my electorate. I'm looking forward to getting out and hearing what matters most to the people who live there and to supporting the small businesses, sporting groups, community groups and not-for-profits.

Our Curtin community will also gain excellent new schools in St John's Primary School, St Mary's Anglican Girls School, Deanmore Primary School, Our Lady of Good Counsel School, Lake Gwelup Primary School, Karrinyup Primary School and Newborough Primary School.

In taking on the suburb of Trigg, not only will Curtin become home to Perth's most consistent and crowded wave; we will also be adding our seventh surf life saving club with the inclusion of Trigg Island Surf Life Saving Club. Perhaps Curtin will have the title of the official electorate of Surf Life Saving Australia.

I also want to take a moment to acknowledge my colleague the member for Stirling, Vince Connelly, who has represented these communities since 2019. He has been an incredible and hardworking representative for the people of Stirling and I'm looking forward to continuing to work with him until the election.
