A re-elected Albanese Labor Government will contribute to the delivery of the Shree Vitraag Jain Community Centre says Federal Member for Parramatta, Dr Andrew Charlton.
This $2 million election commitment will support the establishment of a multipurpose community and cultural centre in Girraween to support the current and future needs of the growing Jain Sydney community.
The community centre will host a range of festivals, lectures, events and cultural celebrations. There will also be a library in addition to a stage with audio visual equipment and a commercial kitchen.
This community centre will provide a spiritual and cultural home for the Jain community of Sydney, as well as facilities for the wider community.
Consistent with past practice, election commitments will be delivered in line with Commonwealth Grants Rules and Principles.
“I am proud that the re-elected Albanese government will contribute to the establishment of such a significant cultural and spiritual hub for the Jain community here in Parramatta.”
“The Shree Vitraag Jain Community Centre will serve as a cultural and spiritual hub for festivals, celebrations, and activities, benefiting both the Jain community and the wider community and further enriching the vibrant multicultural fabric of Parramatta,” said Dr Charlton who is also the Chair of Parliamentary Friends of India.
Communications Minister and Labor Member for Greenway, Michelle Rowland also announced that a re-elected Albanese Labor Government will deliver $1.3 million to support the establishment of the Nilkanth Community hub in Kings Park.
This $1.3 million election commitment will support Shree Swaminarayan Mandir Bhuj to convert its existing warehouse into a multi-purpose space for the Hindu community, benefiting members of all ages.
This expanded community facility will promote cultural enrichment and provide a vital space for events and programs, education classes and workshops, and youth engagement through sports activities. Consistent with past practice, election commitments will be delivered in line with Commonwealth Grants Rules and Principles.
“This commitment from the Albanese Labor Government will support enhanced cultural, social and recreation opportunities for our community in Greenway and Western Sydney.”
“I had the honour of attending the opening of this Mandir in Kings Park over a decade ago and have cherished watching it grow. “This investment of a re-elected Albanese Labor Government will help the community progress the next chapter here in Kings Park,” added Minister Rowland.
