Funding granted for office extension

The Vietnam Veterans Peacekeepers and Peacemakers Association at Ettalong Beach will receive funding of $10,290 to extend and refurbish its Ettalong office.

Federal Member for Robertson, Ms Lucy Wicks, said the project will enable much needed space for the Welfare Co-ordinator and Pension Officer to work with veterans and their families.

"This project will provide an important boost for the local community, delivering improved facilities such as a new kitchen, new toilet facilities and the upgrade of their disability ramp," Ms Wicks said.

"The Association also run a convenient 'Drop In Centre' for veterans, and the kitchen area and the back veranda are very much a part of this activity.
