Narre Warren South MP Gary Maas welcomed Premier Daniel Andrews to his electorate, introducing him to the hard working people of Berwick’s Brentwood Park Neighbourhood House.
Brentwood Park Neighbourhood House and other local community centres recently received $200,000 as part of the Government’s Pick My Project program.
The investment will ensure that the local Brentwood Park community can learn how to grow their own food through the creation of a community garden.
The community garden will bring together people of all ages and cultural backgrounds to share a love of gardening.
The Premier and Mr Maas also had the opportunity to chat with other user groups from the Brentwood Park Neighbourhood House as well as the centre’s committee members to hear about their local achievements.
They also inspected the Community Quilt Project which celebrates the many benefits of diversity and multiculturalism. It is currently on display for everyone to visit.
Mr Maas said: “I am always happy to welcome the Premier to our Narre Warren South and show him the super work of our local community centres.”
“It is always fantastic to visit neighbourhood houses such as Brentwood Park and see first-hand how their tireless work supports the community,” he said.
“Brentwood Park Neighbourhood House is a hive of activity.”
Samar Mougharbel of Brentwood Park Neighbourhood House said it was an honour to meet with the Premier and show how they connect to the community.
“The community garden project is very important for Brentwood Park Neighbourhood House and for the other local community centres involved. We appreciate the Premier’s support,” she said.
