In mid-August the Leppington Village Shopping Centre officially opened its doors. Leppington Village is home to 30 speciality stores and a top‑of‑the‑line Woolworths supermarket. During the opening ceremony I spoke to many of the new storeowners and my constituents about our rapidly changing community and its massive potential. The opening ceremony included a fantastic dance and singing performance by students from nearby Leppington Public School. Leppington Village is also home to my fabulous new electorate office. I thank the Department of Parliamentary Services for the fabulous job after almost five long months as an orphan. I also thank the monks from the Ming Yue Lay Temple who attended the opening day to give my office a traditional Buddhist blessing. The opening of Leppington Village is an important milestone in the development of the Leppington Town Centre and my growing community.
