Speech: Gilmore commitments Main Image

Mrs PHILLIPS (Gilmore) (13:38): 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.
