FEDERAL ELECTION 2022
Funding for Aboriginal association FUNDING towards a fit-for-purpose building for Nairm Marr Djambana has been promised by federal Labor if it wins the upcoming election. Labor has committed $850,000 to the project, which will see the portable buildings at the site replaced. Nairm Marr Djambana is a gathering place in Frankston for First Nations people. A master plan has been drafted for the site, with a vision towards achieving better health and wellbeing outcomes for First Nations people.
Dunkley MP Peta Murphy said the funding would help the group achieve their vision. “I’m pleased to be able to commit to this project if Labor wins the election this May. It will provide culturally safe and accessible facilities for the growing First Nations community in Frankston,” she said. “These upgrades will support the terrific work of the local First Nations community to improve health, cultural and social outcomes. I’m very proud to support them”.

Liberals commit to Carrum Downs park THE federal government has committed $2.6 million to the planned upgrade of Sandfield Reserve. The Liberals committed to the Carrum Downs project last week. Sharn Coombes, the Liberal’s candidate for Dunkley, visited the reserve with senator Jane Hume to announce the funding.
The announcement follows a similar commitment made by federal Labor earlier this month. The opposition pledged $1.3 million to the Sandfield Reserve upgrade. In a statement on social media Ms Coombes said she was “thrilled to announce the federal Liberal government’s planned $2.6 million dol-
lar upgrade of the Sandfield Reserve in Carrum Downs”. “This upgrade is part of my local plan and will revitalise the Sandfield Reserve, turning it into a bustling community hub for all ages and abilities,” she said.
