Public Hall political promise

Labor has committed to upgrading two key pieces of Cranbourne community infrastructure if it retains government at this month’s election.

Labor announced $1 million would be invested to ensure the Cranbourne Public Hall can continue to support local organisations.

Cranbourne MP Pauline Richards said investment in the hall would ensure it’s a critical community resource going forward.

“The best communities are those that make you feel welcome, and thanks to this investment in Cranbourne Public Hall, locals will have another fantastic space to get together and feel at home,” Ms Richards said.

“This project will make sure the hardworking volunteers and staff who make Cranbourne Community Hall great can continue to welcome families in a new modern space – exactly what the local community deserves.”

Additionally, Casey Radio will receive a $50,000 grant to help them continue to deliver a local broadcast to the community.

The funding will help the volunteer media organisation to continue providing local news, sport and music for Casey, Dandenong and surrounding areas.

This investment supports the diverse programming that Casey Radio, 3SER 97.7, showcases to its audience.
