Peter Khalil, Federal Member for Wills, was in Brunswick on Sunday, April 6 to announce that a re-elected Albanese Labor Government will deliver $49,500 for Pontiaki Estia to install an elevator at their premises on Sydney Rd.
This commitment will support the Association’s diverse membership – particularly elderly patrons and those with additional mobility needs – by providing improved access to the building, making it an accessible and welcoming environment to all.
The elevator will mean that more members of the Pontian community can participate in the wide range of cultural, social and educational events that the Association runs.
This investment builds on the Albanese Labor Government’s commitment to upgrading and increasing the accessibility for many important community group’s buildings in Wills.
Mr Khalil said, “the Central Pontian Association in Brunswick works to preserve Pontian culture within our community, and this commitment from the Albanese Labor Government, means that more community members will be able to join in on the important cultural, social and educational activities that the group runs.”
“Making the Central Pontian Association’s Brunswick rooms more accessible through the installation of an elevator builds upon the Association’s commitment to supporting its diverse membership to connect with their heritage, build relationships and seek support in an accessible and accommodating space,” Mr Khalil added.
“Only a re-elected Albanese Labor Government will continue to support the many important community and cultural groups that Wills is home to.”
