Communities to Get Their Share of Local Facilities
Source: Victoria. Treasurer. Media Release
"The Brumby Government will investigate how to provide greater access to Victoria’s community facilities at the lowest possible cost to taxpayers. Treasurer of Victoria John Lenders said the Victorian Competition and Efficiency Commission (VCEC) would report on how to allow local residents to use libraries, sporting facilities, meeting rooms and other government infrastructure when they are not being used.“There are many opportunities for Victorians to use local facilities outside their normal operating hours,” Mr Lenders said.“For example many schools are reaping the benefits of making their buildings and sporting grounds available to the local community. There is no reason why other organisations shouldn’t be able to do the same."
