FEDERAL ELECTION 2022
Cash for play equipment
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 dollar 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.
THE Langwarrin Community Centre will receive $13,000 for new play equipment if Labor wins next month’s federal election. The equipment will be used by the children enrolled in child care and three-year-old kinder at the centre. The centre is expected to use the funding to buy a technicolour walkboard set, soft fall mats, a caravan play set, and a sandpit. Dunkley MP Peta Murphy said “the COVID-19 pandemic has shown us just how important community is. I’m pleased to support this project which will benefit children and local families in the Langwarrin area.” “Labor’s family infrastructure investments are about delivering a better future for families – this investment will do just that,” she said.

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”.
