A re-elected Andrews Labor Government will deliver better facilities for Victoria’s multicultural and multifaith communities in Victoria with a new fund to upgrade, renovate and build community facilities.
It has promised to deliver a $50 million program to build, upgrade and renovate community infrastructure for multicultural and multifaith communities.
This will include $10 million for an Indian Community Infrastructure Program, an official press release said.
Under the program $5 million will be allocated to establish two community centres – one in Melbourne’s west and another in the south-eastern suburbs.
The remaining $5 million will be allocated to a round of grants that will be open to the whole community.
This will ensure community upgrades—both large and small—can be delivered in every corner of our state, the release said.
Victorians come from more than 200 countries, speak 260 languages and follow 135 different faiths. Nearly half of all Victorians were born overseas, or have a parent who was born overseas.
For many Victorians from multicultural and multifaith backgrounds, community groups offer important connections to their culture and heritage.
These groups deserve the best possible community spaces to celebrate and share their culture and traditions, the release added.

Dear Reader,The Indian Sun is an independent organisation committed to community journalism. We have, through the years, been able to reach a wide audience especially with the growth of social media, where we also have a strong presence. With platforms such as YouTube videos, we have been able to engage in different forms of storytelling. However, the past few years, like many media organisations around the world, it has not been an easy path. We have a greater challenge. We believe community journalism is very important for a multicultural country like Australia. We’re not able to do everything, but we aim for some of the most interesting stories and journalism of quality. We call upon readers like you to support us and make any contribution. Do make a DONATION NOW so we can continue with the volume and quality journalism that we are able to practice.
Thank you for your support.
Best wishes,
Team The Indian Sun
