Flemington Works

Danny PEARSON (Essendon – Minister for Transport Infrastructure, Minister for the Suburban Rail Loop, Assistant Treasurer, Minister for WorkSafe and the TAC) (09:46): I was pleased also to attend the Flemington Works partnership celebration on the Saturday. Flemington Works is one of the most successful employment programs in the state’s history – around about $3000 per employment outcome for residents on the public housing estate. It was a celebration with a number of community providers who are providing the dignity of work to so many public housing tenants in Flemington. I do want to give a shout-out to Moonee Valley City Council and Helen Sui, the CEO, as well as Pierce Tyson, the mayor – an outstanding local government authority doing great work in our community.
