Bright Moon Buddhist Society
Eden FOSTER (Mulgrave) (16:27): I also had the honour of attending the Bright Moon Buddhist Society temple with the Minister for Multicultural Affairs and my neighbouring members of Parliament, including the member for Clarinda. As many would be aware, in 2023 the Bright Moon Buddhist temple was destroyed by a significant fire that broke the hearts of many in the community, a community that originally built this temple on the backs of donations. As mayor of the City of Greater Dandenong at the time of this devastating fire, I saw a community in shock and grief-stricken. It was therefore pleasing that the Victorian Labor government’s Chinese Community Infrastructure Fund grant will help build traditional-style walls and gates as part of the temple restoration project.
