Toyota’s involvement throughout the years when its manufacturing plant operated in<br />

KOROROIT CREEK TRAIL COMPLETION PLAN<br />
Following Toyota Australia’s injection of $1,800,000 into the trail’s future development<br />
in Altona North, I requested that the Victorian State Government – through Member<br />
for Williamstown and State Minister for Industry, Employment and Resources, Wade<br />
Noonan MP – consider funding a further part of the shared trail within Altona North.<br />
In June 2016, the government responded to my request and announced its plan to<br />
co-sponsor the ‘Toyota Legacy Project’ through a $650,000 grant. Jill Hennessy MP,<br />
Minister for Health and Member for Altona, made the announcement of the grant<br />
which was sourced through the State’s ‘Community Sports Infrastructure’ fund.<br />
Minister for Health Jill Hennessy MP at 2016 ‘Toyota Legacy’ grant announcement<br />
with Hobsons Bay CEO Chris Eddy and Deputy Mayor Sandra Wilson<br />
HBCC subsequently included $817,000 for the path funding in its 2016/17<br />
Annual Budget. This total of $3.3 million ensured completion of the trail<br />
between Barnes Road and Blackshaws Road, and the finalisation of the trail’s design<br />
between Blackshaws Road and Geelong Road. The Toyota shared trail legacy to<br />
the Altona North community was completed just in time for our local 2017<br />
‘National Tree Day’ celebration.<br />
