THREE local volunteer emergency services groups will share $57,000 in state government grant money.
The Aspendale Lifesaving Swimming and Youth Club, Westpac Lifesaver Rescue Helicopter Service – Victoria, and Mordialloc Life Saving Club will each get a share of the money. The grant came from the state government’s volunteer emergency services equipment program.
The three organisations are based in the Mordialloc electorate. Mordialloc MP Tim Richardson said “congratulations to all the deserving volunteer groups in Mordialloc receiving grants. The volunteer emergency services equipment program is an important annual program providing a critical boost to local volunteers, ensuring their equipment and facilities are up to date.”
Victorian emergency services minister Jaclyn Symes said “we know this funding will be a vital boost for our selfless volunteers who are always there for Victorians when they need them.”
