The following residents of the ACT draw to the attention of the Assembly:
The Gungahlin Community is the fastest growing community in the ACT;
The demand for cricket, both junior and adult, has also been growing rapidly;
Bonner Oval is increasingly used by the multicultural community in Bonner for social cricket competitions;
The not-for-profit community club Indian Australian Multicultural Sports Association holds many annual events;
These include initiatives to involve women and girls more in cricket and sport in general; and
The Bonner Oval has public toilets, tables and chairs and some other amenities, however it lacks a water bubbler for people playing sport.
Your petitioners, therefore, request the Assembly to call on the ACT Government to:
Fund a water bubbler at the Bonner Oval as part of the August 2021 budget; and
Prioritise other amenities at Bonner Oval where possible.
