A re-elected Labor Government would provide $30,000 on energy savings for the Creek Rd Neball Centre.

This Labor Government has already provided STNA a grant of $1.7 million that was used to build Stadium 1 and has also pledged $600,000 for the state netball body over the next three years specifically for player coach and umpire development.

Seventeen southern schools take part in this Bartlett Labor Government initiative to get families engaging with local educational institutions prior to their children starting school. It's all about strengthening communities and giving kids a head start in literacy and school participation.

Premier and Minister for Education and Skills, David Bartlett, announced with Lisa Singh that a re-elected Labor Government will provide up to $18 million to create Cosgrove High School as a specialist sports school.

It will include a modern four court basketball and multi-purpose stadium that will also be available for community use and be ready for the 2012 school year.

Australian basketball legends, Chris Anstey and Larry Sengstock, (also the current CEO of the National Basketball League and Basketball Australia), helped launch the initiative with Lisa Singh and the Premier.

The Bartlett Labor Government has made an election commitment that if re-elected health care in Hobart's Northern suburbs will be transformed through construction of a new $21 million health centre at Glenorchy.

The new Glenorchy Integrated Care Centre, which will offer a range of hospital and community health services and will take pressure off the Royal Hobart hospital.

Glenorchy Business Crime Working Group received a grant of $2,000 to help work to reduce crime within the Glenorchy Business District.

In October 2008 the Glenorchy Business Crime Working Group was established and has undertaken a range of initiatives to reduce crime and improve responses when crime occurs. 

The Group has representatives from local business, Glenorchy Police, the Glenorchy City Council and the Crime Prevention and Community Safety Council Secretariat was formed to develop and implement new strategies to address and reduce business crime.

Lisa Singh was pleased to join Heart Foundation Chief Executive Officer, Graeme Lynch, to launch Healthy by Design: A guide to planning and designing environments for active living in Tasmania.

Tasmania joins Victoria as the only two states in Australia to have state-specific guidelines to help planners, designers and related professionals create urban environments that encourage healthy activity.

The guidelines, developed jointly by the Premier’s Physical Activity Council and the Heart Foundation, are seen as a powerful way to incorporate health into daily planning decisions that encourage physical activity and social interaction.

In Tasmania, seven out of 10 adults do not undertake sufficient physical activity to meet the Australian physical activity guidelines of at least 30 minutes of moderate physical activity on most days of the week.

Lisa presented Source Wholefoods with a grant of $10,000 to help assist with the initial purchase of produce for their new organic food store located on land behind the University of Tasmania.

The non for profit organisation was established in 2005 by a group of students & community members interested in creating a more sustainable future.  It includes a community garden along with a green waste recycling system and food co-operative.

The centre provides a place to explore social and environmental issues, acting as a living example of urban sustainability which encourages community involvement and creativity.
