A re-elected Carroll Labor Government will invest $75,000 to support St Mary’s Antiochian Orthodox Community to help deliver vital repairs to the church hall.
The hall is an important part of the parish and hub of community life where seniors and families regularly gather together. It is also where the community gathers to celebrate and preserve their traditions and teach language to children.
This will build on the recent grant of $56,000 to install a new fence and gate, providing improved safety outcomes for the community, Labor knows our multicultural communities make our state stronger.
That’s why Labor is backing this important repair work that will bring locals together.
Only Labor will protect the services that multicultural communities rely on. The alternative is a Liberal-One Nation Coalition making $40 billion in cuts.
