I am delighted to be delivering for our community as part of the Albanese government's budget with a range of critical projects across my electorate of Gilmore on the New South Wales South Coast. I wish to draw attention to just three of these projects today.

Working with our community, I have now delivered $32 million to start the preplanning works for the Nowra bypass and finally get this crucial project started. There is $5 million for the Eurobodalla regional integrated emergency operations precinct in Moruya and $8 million for a radiation therapy centre in Moruya so that local cancer patients can get the care and treatment they need close to home.

This is simply a small snippet of the many commitments I have made, but each of these projects requires action and support from the New South Wales government so they can get off the ground. Today, I call on the New South Wales Liberal government to release the $8 million it promised for the Nowra bypass to get this project started now; to get behind the community's call for the radiation therapy centre in Moruya urgently; and to match New South Wales Labor's commitment of an additional $5 million for the Eurobodalla EOC to bring the total project to $25 million. I will continue working hard every single day to deliver the infrastructure our community deserves.
