Broadmeadows’s multicultural communities  will  be  able  to  build  new  community  facilities  and  improve  existing  spaces  thanks  to  a  new  round  of  grants  from  the  Andrews  Labor Government.

The  2018-19  Multicultural  Community  Infrastructure  Fund will  provide  $9.5  million  towards  improving  and  establishing  facilities  that  support  culturally  diverse  Victorians  to  participate  and  contribute  to  society  while  remaining  connected  to  their  cultural  heritage  and  traditions.

Applications  are  open  and  communities  are  invited  to  apply  for  projects  that  build  new  facilities,  improve  or  restore  existing  infrastructure,  or  increase  security  or  accessibility  for communities.

“The Multicultural Community Infrastructure Fund fosters diversity  in Broadmeadows by  providing  and  improving  community  spaces  and  increasing  access  for  residents  in Broadmeadows,” Mr McGuire said.

Community groups, organisations and associations in Broadmeadows are  encouraged  to  apply  for  funding  that  support  projects  commencing  in  the  2018-19  financial  year.
