CCTV cameras will be delivered in Caroline Springs if the Labor Party is to win the federal election.
Labor candidate for the seat of Gorton, Alice Jordan-Baird, has announced that a re-elected Labor government will invest $1 million to deliver CCTV cameras across the Melton municipality.
It’s hoped the $1 million election commitment will strengthen community safety across Gorton, including in Caroline Springs, Aintree and Rockbank, ensuring residents feel safer and more supported.
“Our community deserves to be safe,” Ms Jordan-Baird said.
“This $1 million investment is about addressing the issues that matter most to people in Gorton.”
The Labor party has also promised to support the expansion of vital community support services for the Ethiopian-Australian community at St Michael’s Church in Ravenhall.
Ms Jordan-Baird, Hawke MP Sam Rae and Fraser MP Dr Daniel Mulino announced $50,000 to help the church expand its programs to better support young people and families with tailored services including language assistance, community events and youth outreach.
“St Michael’s Church plays a vital role in supporting the Ethiopian-Australian community in Melbourne’s west,” Ms Jordan-Baird said.
Mr Rae said it was a fantastic investment, while Dr Mulino said the church already does so much to support families, youth and elderly.
