Today I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate an outstanding Chisholm local and one of the 2021 Victorian Senior of the Year award recipients, Mr Trevor Eddy. Trevor has worked with and led so many community organisations that just one speech can't do him justice. Trevor is the president and chairman of the Burke & Beyond Association, where he helps fight for a better deal for Victorians with a disability. He is also the treasurer and public officer of Greenlink Box Hill, a local group which does incredible work propagating indigenous flora. Trevor is, perhaps more than any other individual, responsible for the continuing existence of Clota Cottage Neighbourhood House in Box Hill, a local organisation which provides a sanctuary for the elderly, disabled and isolated in our community. I was proud to back Trevor in from the very beginning for this award, and I congratulate him again for all that he has done and will continue to do for the Chisholm community.
