Labor is making it easier and cheaper for residents across Footscray to save money on their power bills.
We’re backing the SEC with an additional $303m of new funding, and launching Easy Electric SEC.
Easy Electric SEC will simplify the process of making electric upgrades with free, easy to understand advice.
Victorians can access a statewide network of trusted, vetted SEC installers online or over the phone.

Huge congratulations to our very own @footscrayrugbyunion on being named Community Sporting Club of the Year at the Victorian Sport Awards 🏆
The club’s commitment to community continues to make a real difference - especially through supporting young people alongside organisations including Drummond Street and The Les Twentyman Foundation.
This award celebrates the incredible leadership, players and families who make the club such a welcoming and impactful place. Well done to President Charlie Sale and the entire Bulldogs community 👏
Great to be back at Maribyrnong College with Minister for Education @bencarrollmp to see the site of the school’s exciting $14.3 million upgrade!
The new performing arts and food technology facilities will give local students access to modern, high-quality learning spaces and create even more opportunities for vital hands-on learning.
Happy Friday, westies!
Our new bike path connecting the new veloway to Yarraville Gardens has opened up something very spesh - car free block parties @kindredbandroom.
This is the view from the bike path from last weekend’s Yarraville with Soul at Kindred Studios.

The Lighthouse Cafe operated by the Salvation Army in partnership with the city of Maribyrnong and our local organisations has just opened! 🔦❤️
The cafe has already started connecting our residents who need help the most, with the right services across Footscray.
It’s providing a front door and warm meal for everyone who walks in.
I’m so proud to have secured $574,000 in this year’s budget to fund the outreach Cafe project and am looking forward to seeing it grow into an uplifting and safe space for our community.
Victorian teenagers across Footscray will soon be even more protected from the rare but life-threatening disease, Meningococcal B.
The Allan Labor Government will make the vaccine available FREE for year 10 students (or age equivalent) from 1 January 2027.
This will be made available through existing school immunisation programs via GPs, pharmacies, local council immunisation services, and Aboriginal health services.
Where in the inner west is this?!
2.8 hectares of former industrial land has been regenerated into a peaceful wetlands habitat. Lots of birds, thousands of trees and plants. 🌱
It’ll be opening soon…!
