The people of Mallee continue to exemplify resilience, hard work and innovation. In addition, they are dedicated to their communities and support one another. Grassroots organisations have developed to make sure support is available for all. This week I visited one such group: the Redcliffe Community Resource Centre, capably led by Joe Farrell. I was glad to congratulate the team on their success and a $20,000 grant to support the important work they are doing in the Redcliffe community, specifically for veterans but for others also. The Redcliffe Community Resource Centre is an organisation constantly striving to meet the needs of the community in innovative ways and to partner with other organisations to creatively fill gaps in service delivery. The resource centre will now be able to build a kitchen and all-access toilet facilities to serve their community: I would like to acknowledge the Redcliffe RSL for their continued support for the resource centre. The centre is currently constructing a Men's Shed on their site. We know the positive impact that Men's Sheds have on isolated community members. I once again commend and thank the Redcliffe Community Resource Centre for their contribution to the community.
