Mr ANOULACK CHANTHIVONG (Macquarie Fields—Minister for Better Regulation and Fair Trading, Minister for Industry and Trade, Minister for Innovation, Science and Technology, Minister for Building, and Minister for Corrections) (00:16): There is much to love about my local suburb of Ingleburn, including the recently revamped Ingleburn Bowling Club, which has been an iconic recreational hub for more than 70 years. The Ingleburn Bowling Club underwent a major refurbishment following significant investment from the Ingleburn RSL Club. Opened in 1954, the Ingleburn Bowling Club has served the community with lawn bowls since that time. In 2020 the Ingleburn RSL Club and Ingleburn Bowling Club amalgamated for the long‑term financial viability of the bowling club. Despite some bumps in the road along the way, the Ingleburn RSL board pushed on and invested $16 million into the redevelopment of the bowling club, which has certainly paid off.

The newly refurbished Ingleburn Bowling Club is a wonderful community asset. Kerri Palmer, the president of the Ingleburn ladies' bowls club, is thrilled with the outcome. Already the updated facility is attracting broad interest. That sentiment is echoed by Darren Hudson, the president of the Ingleburn men's bowls club, who says the revamped club has opened the door to a range of possibilities. The club is hoping to attract more younger players, and is also hoping to host State championships. Plans are underway to introduce a school program in conjunction with Bowls NSW. That is a fantastic move, which will give young people access to local recreational opportunities. I acknowledge all those involved in the refurbishment of the bowling club, Chief Executive Officer of Ingleburn RSL Club Glenn Cushion, the board of directors, President Terry Goldsworthy and all the team.

This year marks 50 years of Ingleburn RSL Club at its current location on Chester Road. I congratulate the club on that milestone and on its longstanding contributions to our community. The club is proud of its history. The building was opened on 7 June 1975 by then Prime Minister Gough Whitlam and then Governor of New South Wales, Sir Roden Cutler. It was a watershed moment. Former Prime Minister Gough Whitlam was a long‑time patron of the club. Fast‑forward to today, and the Ingleburn RSL Club continues to play a significant role in life of our community. The club funds Learning Links and the Gotcha4Life Foundation through a community partnership with Sackville Street Public School and Ingleburn Public School. The programs are changing the lives of kids for the better, by delivering bullying prevention programs and supporting the wellbeing of young people by giving them the tools to seek help.

The team from Ingleburn RSL Club also supports Escabags, a not-for-profit organisation that provides free bags filled with essential items to individuals fleeing domestic violence and family abuse. The Ingleburn RSL Club has created a lasting legacy by connecting with and supporting our community, and it can look forward to an exciting future. The Ingleburn RSL Club and the Ingleburn Bowling Club give Ingleburn more reasons to shine. Speaking of all things Ingleburn, I would be remiss if I did not give a shout-out to the wonderful students and teachers at Ingleburn Public School. The school has once again qualified to represent Australia at the prestigious Universal Robotics Challenge world final in Japan. This wonderful achievement continues the Ingleburn Public School legacy of excellence in STEM education and international competition.

The school made history when it placed third on the world stage in 2024. It is the first and only Australian team to achieve a podium finish in the history of Universal Robotics Challenge world finals. This remarkable accomplishment placed Ingleburn Public School in the international spotlight and inspired a new generation of young innovators. The journey continues in 2025 with a new team of year 5 and year 6 students, including Harper Taylor, Noboneeta Kamal, Sarah Wiltshire and Emily Winnacott. The students earned a place in the 2025 world finals after placing second in the Australian final. The team will travel to Osaka, Japan, in September to compete against the world's best in robotics and innovation.

The team will be supported by the wonderful and caring teachers, Ms Melinda Phan, Ms Sandra Nguyen, and Ms Tina Truong. The achievement reflects the school's strong commitment to fostering creativity, collaboration and excellence in STEM learning. Ingleburn Public School continues to lead the way in preparing students for a future driven by innovation and global engagement. Our community is incredibly proud of these young students and their teachers. I wish them every success in Japan in September. I will certainly be cheering them on from afar with the local community. The team gives us yet another reason to celebrate what is great about the local Ingleburn community.
