 Richard WELCH (North-Eastern Metropolitan) (09:52): Last weekend, along with my colleagues Nicole Werner and Trung Luu, I participated in in the Melbourne Moon Festival, organised by the Melbourne Taiwanese Chamber of Commerce and Whitehorse council. I want to thank those groups particularly for putting together such a really well organised event that captured the essence of the moon festival, a celebration of family, unity and tradition. It was great to connect with local Chinese businesses and residents and immerse in their culture through traditional foods and performances. Events like this play a wonderful role in bringing our community together, fostering cultural understanding and highlighting the diversity that makes Box Hill so unique. Thank you to everyone involved in making that event a success.
