The Andrews Labor Government has committed $50 million to delivering better spaces for multicultural and multifaith communities in Victoria if re-elected at the upcoming state elections in November.
Victorians come from more than 200 countries, speak 260 languages and follow 135 different faiths. Nearly half of all Victorians were born overseas or have a parent who was born overseas.
For many Victorians from multicultural and multifaith backgrounds, community groups offer important connections to their culture and heritage.
These groups need the best possible community spaces to celebrate and share their culture and traditions.
In a press release today, Victorian Labor said it will deliver a $50 million investment to build, upgrade and renovate new community infrastructure for multicultural and multifaith communities.
This will ensure community upgrades large and small can be delivered in every corner of Victoria, supporting multicultural and multifaith Victorians, wherever they live.
