We ❤️ Wycheproof Victoria
.
#outbackVICWhen was the last time you called into the Wycheproof Info, Art & Craft Shop?

Crafty volunteers have been super busy during Covid lockdown and the shelves are full to the brim.

From seriously cute babywear to one-of-a-kind jewellery, cosy beanies and blankets to souvenirs, everything in stock is created or sourced by our talented local crafters (and very reasonably priced!).

After 18 months of extended lockdowns the doors are open and volunteers are excited to welcome you back.

We'll be showcasing items over the coming weeks for those who aren't able to visit in person, but still want to support the Wycheproof community. Stay tuned.

AC-TION!

Check out Youtube updates from Team AC including selected speeches from the Legislative Assembly floor, updates from around the electorate, and more!

During question time this week, I asked the Health Minister about the progress of planning for the future of Mildura Base Public Hospital. . A Services Plan Review has been undertaken, which Minister Foley said is due for release in the very near future. . The plan has identified health priorities for the region, and will point out what is needed to cater for the future health needs of our diverse community. . The tone of Minister Foley’s response was promising. . He said he is looking forward to the Northern Mallee’s continued enthusiasm and interest surrounding the future of the Base. . He also mentioned he’s keen to persuade the Treasurer once our ambitions are outlined in the Services Plan and Capital Plan. . I also questioned the Minister about what assurances he could give that Mildura will get a new site for the Mildura Base Public Hospital. . You can listen to his responses in this video.
Question Time - Mildura Base Public Hospital Future Planning.
YouTube Video VVVra2dSUV9XdFlLX0ZaNFNiQUxlOWtnLml2R1VrcF9hbXdN
Across three budgets we have secured more than $240 million of investment. The sum of this year’s budget was not quite as big as last year’s, but it was perhaps more significant because it laid the foundations for the biggest infrastructure project in a generation—a new Mildura Base Public Hospital built to a world-class standard would be a life changer not just for the people of Sunraysia but for the whole Mallee region.

Across three state budgets we have secured more than $240 million of investment. . The sum of this year’s budget was not quite as big as last year’s, but it was perhaps more significant because it laid the foundations for the biggest infrastructure project in a generation. . A new Mildura Base Public Hospital built to a world-class standard would be a life changer not just for the people of Sunraysia but for the whole Mallee region. . The full capital funding is not yet in the bank, but the $2 million for the master plan is the critical precursor to securing it.

I am delighted to see the State Government is backing Buloke Shire Council's Playspaces Trail project. $2.6 million dollars of regional infrastructure funding will see the creation of five new playspaces – three of which are our electorate. It’s delightful news for the communities of Birchip, Berriwillock and Wycheproof, who will all get brand new place spaces for their kids to enjoy. . I was also pleased to see that three projects of significance officially open in Birchip over the weekend. . Over $1.1 million of funding has come from State, Federal & Local Government, as well as the footy club and corporate avenues to help upgrade the town’s netball courts, and redevelop the oval and changerooms at the Birchip Leisure Centre. . What’s particularly significant is these projects were funded under both drought resilience and female friendly facilities funding. . I also send my congratulations to Irymple Kindergarten Director Hayley D’Ettore and her team for securing $952,500 recently. . Irymple Kindy is one of four projects to receive fast-tracked Building Blocks Grants funding to deliver three-year-old kinder. . Increased kinder hours are already incredibly popular in our community, and this money will be used to create an additional learning space – increasing student enrolment capacity, and provide the option of upscaling services to five days a week.
