Budget 2026–27

 Tom McINTOSH (Eastern Victoria) (10:06): There was lots of great news out of the budget last week, and there was big news for Mirboo North out of the Victorian state budget. We got $7 million for the new CFA brigade and a new kinder on site at the school. Thanks to everyone around town who has put in their advocacy to achieve this. In our next steps we focus on securing funding for the stadium at the school.

In other news out of the state budget, Stratford is getting an upgrade to the stadium, with over $300,000 to lift the bathrooms. The community have fundraised, the school community have advocated. This is going to really breathe life into the stadium. There is more to do, but congratulations to everyone for their advocacy on it. It is going to unlock the stadium for lots of community groups around town.
