Seasonal worker accommodation
Mr GEPP (Northern Victoria) (12:39): I rise to advise the house that in April I visited Robinvale to announce $744 000 worth of funding under the seasonal workforce accommodation program for the construction of the new Robinvale backpacker facility. The project will support up to 60 seasonal workers with the construction of the 20-shared-bedroom facility. This project in the heart of the Mallee will be a valuable addition to the region, as accommodation is limited and this has been a barrier for workers wanting to stay in town.
