Sailability is based at Lake Tuggeranong. They use a shed there, which has been up for a few years now. I would like to congratulate them on their seventh anniversary. I know they are going to go from strength to strength because they bring so much joy to so many people in our community.

Question resolved in the affirmative.
The Assembly adjourned at 6.10 pm
