Delivering on election commitments is a priority for me, and it's been great to be out and about across the Central Coast of Tasmania doing just that. The Ulverstone Recreation Ground upgrade is finished and open for business. As part of the redevelopment, accessible private change rooms have been fitted for both men and women. This has removed yet another barrier preventing recreational participation, and that's a great thing. The Ulverstone Cultural Precinct and Penguin foreshore redevelopments are underway and will transform the region. The visionary cultural precinct includes art galleries, a planetarium and a fit-for-purpose workshop area. The foreshore remediation work taking place in Penguin will safeguard this unique asset and this picturesque township for generations to come. Congratulations to the Central Coast Council on their clear vision for the region.

Keeping promises is important, but during this time economic stimulus and jobs are crucial. Our multimillion-dollar investments across Braddon are getting businesses back to work and apprentices back on the books. Money is being spent in local shops, and a positive energy is felt throughout the community. I'm proud to be part of a government that's delivering as promised and on time, and I look forward to updating the House as I continue to deliver commitments right across the north-west, the West Coast and King Island in the great state of Tasmania.
