Directions
I am pleased to confirm that our new
Minister is the Honourable Graham West
MP, Minister for Gaming and Racing and
Minister for Sport and Recreation.
This issue of Parklands magazine marks its
10 year anniversary. First published in
winter 1997, the magazine has contained
stories about many of the remarkable
people, events and projects that have made
Centennial Parklands what it is today.
Looking back over its many issues, the
aspect that I find fascinating is the
covers. Each cover provides a
snapshot of life in the Parklands
and, in a sense, have catalogued
the things that have made these
Parklands a favourite for many
people over the years.
Our People. Our Places. Our Partners.
Our Potential.
