Labor has been delivering for Dunkley in spades, with my community seeing projects delivered ranging from Medicare urgent care clinics and sporting pavilions to road upgrades and community centre upgrades to brand-new commuter car parks. Over the past three years, approximately $220 million has been invested in our community alone. We have delivered the upgrade to Jubilee Park Stadium; the upgrade to Ballarto and Hall Road; two commuter car parks at Frankston and Kananook; upgrades to Emil Madsen Reserve; the new facilities for Sikh Volunteers Australia; a bulk-billed Medicare urgent clinic right in the heart of Frankston; thousands of dollars in grants to local community organisations and RSLs, including $2.2 million for community organisations, volunteers and sporting clubs; and soon we will have the groundbreaking Frankston basketball stadium. On top of this, Labor has delivered locally a newly redeveloped Frankston Hospital and a brand-new Chisholm TAFE. We have been laying the foundations for implementing the Frankston Metropolitan Activity Centre to have a thriving Frankston.
