Update on Funding For Sanctuary Point Library - Fiona Phillips MP for Gilmore

 

As a mum, I know how important it is for everyone, from young people to the elderly, to have access to libraries for their education and well being. Congratulations to the Friends of Sanctuary Point Library, Sanctuary Point Community Pride Inc. and Shoalhaven City Council for your tireless advocacy for a new state-of-the-art library and community hub for the Bay and Basin community. Yesterday I invited Jason Clare, Shadow Minister for Local Government to Sanctuary Point to announce Labor's commitment for $7.5 million for the new Sanctuary Point District Library.
