Eastwood playground progress
Member for Gippsland Darren Chester says work on the $500,000 Eastwood playground is progressing well, thanks to a funding partnership between East Gippsland Shire and the previous federal government. The project includes $300,000 funding from the Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program which has contributed to dozens of similar initiatives across Gippsland.
