Gayle Dye
Kim WELLS (Rowville) (09:55): I would like to recognise the amazing local hero Gayle Dye from Share Space Inc. in Rowville. Gayle recently was awarded the Knox Westfield Local Hero 2024 for her outstanding commitment towards her community. Gayle is also a previous winner of a Victoria Day award, hosted by Nick McGowan MLC and me. Understanding the need in the community for extra support, Gayle sought to create Share Space, a local organisation that brings the vulnerable together and provides a space that supports them. The organisation also provides 24-hour access to food, personal hygiene and essential items for families who are in need. I always feel very welcomed by Gayle when I drop by Share Space. Share Space is a testament to Gayle’s vision for the community, aiming to include everyone in the community, making sure no-one gets left behind. Again, a huge well done to Gayle, and I hope she continues to do her amazing work for the Rowville area.
