$3.5 million for the
new Redfern/Waterloo Community Health Centre is one of the local highlights in
the Iemma Government’s second Budget delivered today, Kristina
Keneally told the South Sydney Herald. “This Budget meets the
Government’s election commitment to improve and expand the public services
working families rely on.” The inner city will benefit from the acquisition of
260 new buses for the Sydney
metropolitan and outer metropolitan areas in 2007/08, and planning for the Easy
Access upgrade of Sydenham Station.
There will be an
investment of $13 million for the supply of new public housing and upgrading of
existing public housing as well as $1 million for feasibility work to begin the
upgrade of Redfern Station. $1.9 million has been assigned to improve child and
adolescent mental health in-patient services at Sydney Children’s Hospital.
