The election campaign for the election that’s yet to be called continues unabated.
Today the sitting member for Werriwa, Anne Stanley, along with the member for Watson, Tony Burke, have announced that a re-elected Albanese Government will deliver a new community hall at St Rafqa Maronite Church in Austral.
This $5 million election commitment will fund a new community hall for the church, which will help to expand their existing services.
With a vibrant, growing community in Austral and the surrounding areas, St Rafqa Maronite Church provides a welcoming and safe environment alongside a wide range of supports for parishioners.
The MPs – pictured above at St Rafqa Church, said in a media release that “consistent with past practice, election commitments will be delivered in line with Commonwealth grants rules and principles’’.
“Werriwa is home to many of Maronite faith who contribute so much to our local community,” Ms Stanley said.
“I am proud to announce this commitment towards the establishment of a new community hall, to ensure we back in St Rafqa Maronite Church’s vision for the future.”
Mr Burke said he was “proud to support a parish that contributes so much to the community through various programs, supports the vulnerable and fosters a sense of community”.
