Djerring Flemington Hub

Danny PEARSON (Essendon – Minister for Transport Infrastructure, Minister for the Suburban Rail Loop, Assistant Treasurer, Minister for WorkSafe and the TAC) (10:24): I was delighted with the fact that the Djerring hub celebrated its first birthday on Monday. The Djerring hub is a facility that services the Flemington public housing community. It was funded jointly by the City of Moonee Valley and with $5 million from the then Andrews Labor government. It is something that my wife when she was on council pursued incredibly hard and with great vigour with the late Jim Cusack, who was also a councillor at Moonee Valley at the time. We have made sure that now in Jim’s memory the foyer is named Jim Cusack Foyer, which is a fitting tribute.
