Construction works to upgrade cottages and develop new all-abilities accessible units in Mallacoota are well advanced thanks to a partnership between the local health service and Federal MP Darren Chester (pictured).
Mr Chester supported Mallacoota District Health and Support Service (MDHSS) as it secured a $2.15 million grant from the previous government for the important bushfire recovery project.
“There’s a major housing shortage in Mallacoota which was made worse when more than 100 homes were lost in the Black Summer bushfires,” Mr Chester said.
“The Miva Miva project auspiced by MDHSS will help to address housing affordability and access issues because it targets some of the most vulnerable people in the community including those with chronic health conditions, the aged, or people with disabilities.
“Well done to everyone involved in bringing this important project to fruition.”
