PERSONAL STATEMENT FROM DANIELLE GREEN

The pandemic has been a challenging experience for all of us. My family and I are no exception to that. In the past twelve months my husband has had multiple surgeries, and despite our best post-operative efforts we have just been informed that he will need to undergo further surgeries in the next month. While caring for my husband, my own health has taken a down-turn and I have been hospitalised twice in the past month. Through this difficult time for our family, I have continued to serve my community and fulfill my portfolio responsibilities as the Parliamentary Secretary for Regional Victoria and for Sport. However, in consultation with my family, I have made the decision to take a period of personal leave – to care for my husband and take the time I need to recover my own health. I love my job and the Yan Yean community. My desire to work hard to deliver for all my constituents remains as strong as when I was first elected. My electorate staff will continue their great work supporting the people of Yan Yean. They will be supported by my colleague the Member for Northern Victoria, Jaclyn Symes. I thank the many health and medical professionals who have supported me and my family throughout this period, especially the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre. I am grateful to each and every one of them for the work they do every day for families like mine. I ask for privacy for myself and my family during this period, and look forward to reconnecting with friends and the Yan Yean community when I return to work in October.

Nillumbik Council: Fund netball facilities in Hurstbridge!

Nillumbik Shire Council has failed sporting women and girls of Hurstbridge and district. Council has known for years that it’s simply not good enough, for the only first division football and netball club in Nillumbik, to have the worst rooms in the Shire. No dedicated female friendly change rooms for football, cricket or netballers, and not even an accessible bathroom for patrons. And for years, netballers have lobbied council to fix inadequate, non-compliant and unsafe netball courts. I’ve done all I can to support them, but Council keeps dropping the ball. Timeline: October 2018 - the Andrews Labor Government allocates $150,000 towards a modest upgrade to female friendly facilities at the Hurstbridge clubrooms. Two years on, the money remains unspent. February 2020 – Nillumbik Council applies to Sport & Recreation Victoria for $375,000 to upgrade courts and lighting. I strongly backed the application along with Netball Victoria. Nillumbik failed to lodge all required documentation, so the application scored 0% in a competitive funding round. September 2020 – Nillumbik Council receives $705,000 from the State Government’s Growing Suburbs Fund for a $1.7 million project to upgrade sporting facilities in Graysharps Road, Hurstbridge. This $1.7 million project doesn’t include netball courts and lighting. Let’s tell Council that women and girls have waited long enough for female friendly change rooms, and long enough for courts and lighting. It’s time that Council gives Hurstbridge its fair share. It’s time that Council gives sporting women and girls their fair share. Therefore, this petition urges Council to expand the Graysharps Road Project to include the netball courts and lighting. *Photo taken before COVID-19
