I take this opportunity to congratulate the community of Terang and district on the official opening of the Terang Fitness and Wellbeing Centre on 4 November this year. The fitness centre has long been a dream of local residents and was made possible by a $230 000 Brumby Labor government funding arrangement, $250 000 from the Corangamite shire, $170 000 of federal Labor government funding and, most importantly, $250 000 of community and philanthropic contributions raised with sheer hard work. The community of Terang, together with the shire and state and federal Labor governments, brought this dream to fruition and it will serve the region for many years to come. The centre already has 230 members signed up and that number is sure to grow. I would like to specifically congratulate members of the Terang community building initiative group and other local organisations who have worked so hard over the years to make this project possible.
