Mallacoota District Health and Support Service gets $2.2M from previous government for all-abilities accessible units and cottage upgrades
A $2.15 million grant from the previous government, secured by Mallacoota District Health and Support Service (MDHSS), is facilitating this project to address housing shortages, particularly for vulnerable community members.
Construction works to upgrade cottages and develop new all-ability accessible units in Mallacoota are well advanced thanks to a partnership between the local health service and Federal MP Darren Chester. Mr Chester supported Mallacoota District Health and Support Service (MDHSS) as it secured a $2.15 million grant from the previous government for the important bushfire recovery project.
Mallacoota's local health service and Federal MP Darren Chester have made substantial strides in upgrading cottages and constructing universally accessible units
"There's a major housing shortage in Mallacoota which was made worse when more than 100 homes were lost in the Black Summer bushfires. The Miva Miva project auspiced by MDHSS will help to address housing affordability and access issues because it targets some of the most vulnerable people in the community including those with chronic health conditions, the aged, or people with disabilities. Well done to everyone involved in bringing this important project to fruition," Mr Chester said.
