We now all have a chance to shape the future of our local green spaces. Grants of $20,000 to $250,000 are available for new parks or park upgrades in eligible growth areas. This includes around activity centres, priority precincts, and Suburban Rail Loop stations.

ICYMI: It was a busy sitting week in Parliament, with plenty happening both in the chamber and across the North-Eastern Metropolitan Region from streamlining approvals for small lot housing to ongoing consultations on flexible work arrangements.

Working from home works, and the Allan Labor Government will make it a right.

Each week, it saves Victorians (on average) about $110 and 3+ hours, meaning more money and time where it matters.

Following consultation, legislation will be introduced next year.

If you've bought more food than you need, consider donating to my office - Office 2, 9-11 Williamsons Road, Doncaster - like one community member did with this cherry juice.

If you are struggling and need food or pet supplies, you’re welcome to collect them.

Rebuilding Block A at Heatherwood School is almost underway.

After advocating alongside the school community, I am pleased to share that Devco Project & Construction Management has been appointed to rebuild Block A, following the 2023 fire.

Great to welcome Trent, a student from East Doncaster Secondary College, who dropped by today to interview me about the role of social media in politics and how young people are engaging with it.

Successive Labor Governments have delivered for Croydon Primary School.

Thanks to strong advocacy from Shaun Leane MP, the outdated Block A was replaced with a purposely designed modular building. If you look closely at the admin building, can you spot the legacy from 1888? Drop it in the comments.

This NAIDOC Week, we reflect on progress and partnership. In Victoria, negotiations are underway for a Statewide Treaty Bill. A step that would establish a permanent, independent First Peoples' Assembly with real decision-making power for First Peoples.

Stopped in at the Wonga Park Shopping Centre this morning for a warm coffee at the Little Lofty Café.

With local businesses, an Australia Post office, a gym, and of course a great café, the Wonga Park Shopping Centre has quickly become a much-loved community hub.
