One of my proudest endeavours as an MP was working

One of my proudest endeavours as an MP was working with the local community to clean up the Gunnamatta outflow. Now, this much improved recycled water will be put to good use on the Mornington Peninsula.

The Australian Government has committed $300,000 to improve recycled water infrastructure on the Mornington Peninsula, delivering Grade A recycled water from Melbourne Water’s South Eastern Outfall at Emil Madsen Reserve, to a storage dam on Mornington Golf Course.

Pleased to meet and thank naval personnel and emergency service workers and volunteers at HMAS Cerberus, who are supporting the arrival of the last of the evacuees from Mallacoota, today.
Among the families was Vicki, who was evacuated and arrived on the Sycamore on Saturday, and was greeting her husband.

She said very simply, "The response and work of the navy and the CFA has made me so proud of Australia, and to be an Australian."

A privilege to meet the many emergency service workers and volunteers greeting and caring for the Mallacoota evacuees at the Somerville Recreation Centre.
A clear sense of relief from the evacuees and a special thanks from them to the CFA, the Navy and all of the volunteers who have helped at each stage of the journey.

Advice is that all initial evacuees to Somerville have now been cleared and reunited with friends or family.
Special thanks to the Mornington Peninsula Shire for quietly and effectively coordinating the Relief centre - great to see the Mayor, CEO, Councillor Julie Morris and many Shire employees on deck and supporting the relief effort.
