My question is to the Minister for Regional Development. There is presently a divide in Yarrawonga between the Moira Shire (who want to demolish the historic local Community Hall for a library) and many community members (who instead simply want the Community Hall refurbished). Many residents are also adamant that the former Yarrawonga Primary School site is available for a discounted-rate sale from the Education Department (and that this would be ideal for the new library and a community hub). But the Shire says it is not. I therefore ask if the Minister could clarify whether that Government-owned land is indeed available to the Council for a discounted purchase. And whether the Government intends to help resolve these problems currently affecting Yarrawonga’s development – and, if so, when and how?
