Frankston Zero
Paul EDBROOKE (Frankston) (19:09): (236) My adjournment matter is for the Treasurer, and I ask that the Treasurer visit Frankston and accompany me to visit two recipients of funding in the 2023–24 state budget. Frankston Zero, which launched in 2021, has received a one-off capped grant of $500,000 to be allocated over four years. This will ensure that more people can get access to the support that they need to find secure housing and get back on their feet. Frankston Zero promote a holistic model of support, including mental health, family violence and trauma support while working with the person to find secure housing. Frankston basketball stadium also secured funding in the budget of $15 million towards the redevelopment of the stadium. More courts mean more kids being able to stay active and play the sport they love in their local area. This is part of an overall package that will see funding provided by the state, federal and local governments. I look forward to the Treasurer’s response.
