West Gate Neighbourhood Fund
Katie HALL (Footscray) (13:22): I rise to speak to fantastic contributions being made by the West Gate Neighbourhood Fund in Footscray. The redevelopment of the Footscray Wharf has transformed the local area into a picturesque promenade that would not be out of place on a postcard. With more green space, lighting and public amenities on the way, as well as this government’s $8.7 million redevelopment of Footscray Community Arts, the West Gate Neighbourhood Fund has helped transform the community. The West Gate Neighbourhood Fund, in collaboration with the City of Maribyrnong and the Little Africa Traders Association, recently held a night market featuring live music, fashion displays, henna and face painting, African drumming and of course great food from across Africa.
