I thank the people of Moore for entrusting me as their representative for a fourth term. On behalf of the Returned Services League Joondalup city subbranch, ably led by veterans Rick Green and Bruce McDonald, and in the spirit of bipartisanship, I call upon the Minister for Veterans' Affairs and the new Albanese government to honour the commitment made by the previous government to provide for the relocation of the Ocean Reef War Memorial to a new permanent site at the redeveloped Ocean Reef Marina. Impending construction work at the site means that the memorial arch constructed of steel and glass, built to commemorate the centenary of the Anzac landings at Gallipoli, will soon need to be dismantled and placed into storage. With $1.5 million in federal funding, DevelopmentWA will be able to restore the memorial to a new waterfront site for our community and future generations of Australians to gather for Anzac Day and Remembrance Day to remember the sacrifice of all veterans for our country.
