WRITTEN ADJOURNMENT RESPONSES 1742 COUNCIL Tuesday, 31 May 2011 Raised on: 3 May 2011 REPLY: I am advised that the ceremonies held in the village of Villers-Bretonneux in France and other surrounding villages including Bullecourt after the ANZAC Day dawn service are organised by the local community not the Australian government. In that context any member of parliament who does visit Villers-Bretonneux for the ANZAC Day dawn service can attend these other services but, if they wish to do so formally, they will need to make any necessary arrangements directly with the relevant community organisation/s through their own electorate offices. Raised with: Minister for Education Raised by: Mr O’Donohue Raised on: 4 May 2011 REPLY: I am informed as follows: Special schools: Officer The government committed to establish a specialist school in Officer serving the communities in Casey and Cardinia municipalities prior to its election in November 2010. The provision of $4 million for land acquisition and $15 million for construction in the 2011–12 state budget is the first step in delivering on this commitment for the local community. I am pleased to meet with representatives of the group special school for Casey-Cardinia. Raised with: Minister for Education Raised by: Ms Mikakos Raised on: 5 May 2011 REPLY: I am informed as follows: Schools: Doreen The government has made a commitment to focus on upgrading government primary and secondary schools across the state. Priority projects to be included in the building program for the first term of government were identified in the Victorian Liberal Nationals Coalition Plan for Education, released in November 2010. Further schools were identified for capital funding in the Victorian state budget 2011–12, released on 3 May 2011. The government allocated $208 million in the 2011–12 state budget to provide quality school infrastructure. This included funding for the purchase of land for a new secondary school in Doreen. The government will fulfil its commitment to the school community and commission a feasibility study that will examine the residential growth in the area and set a timetable for school planning and construction. The feasibility study will be given due consideration as part of future budget processes and in determining future priorities for the building program.
WRITTEN ADJOURNMENT RESPONSES Tuesday, 31 May 2011 COUNCIL 1743 Raised with: Minister for Public Transport Raised by: Mr Drum Raised on: 5 May 2011 REPLY: Trams: W-class The coalition government has provided $8 million in the 2011–12 state budget to restore and trial a limited return to operation of the historic W-class trams. Under the initiative, up to four W-class trams could be restored from storage to operating condition. As part of a separate project, a City Circle tram has been sent to Bendigo Tramways workshops to undergo restoration works. This will inform the government of the extent of works required to bring W-class trams as close to the original designs as possible within the confines of current safety requirements. Once completed, it is likely that restoration of W-class trams under the $8 million program will be awarded to Bendigo Tramways workshops as it is the only specialist workshop with the capability to restore W-class trams. Raised with: Minister for Racing Raised by: Ms Pennicuik Raised on: 5 May 2011 REPLY: Racing: jumps events I refer to the matters raised as part of the adjournment debate on 5 May 2011 regarding the future of jumps racing in Victoria and asking that I clarify the government’s commitment to the continuation of jumps racing in this state. The Baillieu coalition government is a strong supporter of jumps racing, as we have demonstrated through a commitment of $2 million from unclaimed dividends to the industry over the next four years. The importance of Warrnambool’s three-day Grand Annual Carnival to the south-west of the state cannot be underestimated, both for the regional racing industry and particularly for the tourist and hospitality operators that rely on major local events for their sustainability. Decisions about the racing program are the responsibility of Racing Victoria Limited (RVL), the controlling body for thoroughbred racing in Victoria. The safe conduct of jumps racing also remains the responsibility of RVL and I understand that the system of key performance indicators, instituted by RVL last year, which saw a significant reduction in jumps incidents, continues to be in effect in 2011. The decision RVL made was that hurdle racing in Victoria would continue for three years — the current jumps racing season and two seasons thereafter — and that steeplechasing would be conducted this current season and re-examined at the end of the season. RVL’s jumps review panel monitors all jumps racing events and will therefore review the incident at Warrnambool on Monday 4 April that resulted in Casa Boy being euthanased and the more recent death of Shine The Armour. I have also asked Racing Victoria to conduct an inquiry into the 5 May incident at Warrnambool in addition to a broader review of spectator safety policy. The safety of spectators at horse racing events is of paramount importance. I have asked Racing Victoria to report back to me on existing spectator safety measures and any recommendations to improve these measures. WorkSafe has already conducted an inspection of the location of the incident and provided initial findings and recommendations to the Warrnambool Racing Club on how to reduce risks to spectators.
