WELCOME MESSAGE FROM THE MINISTER FOR SPORT It gives me great pleasure to welcome you all to Lakeside Stadium for the 2015 IAAF Melbourne World Challenge. Victoria is very proud of its ability to host a wide variety of quality sporting events that attract visitors to our State, boost the economy and encourage participation in sport throughout the local community. Events such as the 2015 IAAF Melbourne World Challenge also provide a great opportunity to showcase Victoria s outstanding sports facilities, in this case Lakeside Stadium. That s why the Victorian Government is pleased to provide funding to Athletics Australia over the next two years to support the staging of this event, through until 2016. Tonight we will see Australia s best take on a host of international athletes as they compete in the final event of the Australian Athletics Tour. I wish all competitors the best of luck and welcome all visitors to this event. During your stay I invite you to experience the vast array of attractions and entertainment Melbourne has to offer. The Hon John Eren MP Minister for Sport
