A re-elected Morrison Government has committed to provide $320,000 to the Greek Orthodox Parish and Community of Kogarah for much needed accessibility upgrades.
In a statement, Liberal Member for Banks, David Coleman, said the funding would deliver a much-needed improvement to the accessibility of the church building.
“The Greek Orthodox Church in Kogarah is a longstanding and important institution in our community,” Assistant Minister Coleman said.
“I am pleased to announce that a re-elected Morrison Government will ensure safe and equitable access for the thousands of parishioners who frequent the church.”

Renovations will involve the removal and replacement of the existing and unsafe accessibility ramp, the raising of the entry platform to the same level as that of the church entrance and expand the entry patio for easier exit and entry to the building.
Liberal candidate for Barton, John Goody, said essential upgrades like these are only possible because of the Morrison Government’s strong economic management.
