MEMBERS STATEMENT

‘PORT PHILLIP CHILDCARE CENTRES’.

Tuesday, 2 August 2022.

Mr NEWBURY (Brighton) (13:21):

Investing in our kids sets them up for life.

An elected Liberal Government will provide $5 million to three Port Phillip childcare centres that need refurbishment.

Council is being forced to close three centres, including one in my Elwood community. The centres are aged and need significant upgrades, which council cannot afford.

The Liberal commitment will save the three local childcare centres.
